Unwanted List always unsuccessful

[cocoadavid]

Example:
I put one of my players - valued 9M, clubs already interested in him -  to the Unwanted List, and instructed my Director of Football (who has good attributes) to sell for half value.
My DOF said that my player failed to attract offers for half value (4.5M).
Then I took charge of selling this player, and offered him to clubs for 10 million. And voilá, clubs offered me 10M, and I could sell him for more than his value.

I really would like to use a DOF in my gameplay for these purposes, it would feel more realistic, but TBH, a DOF is currently useless for selling players.

Should I report this as a bug, do others have the same experience?
