Percentage of player sales

Not sure if that should be in the bugs tracker section but my guess would be that your finances should improve slowly. An important aspect I believe would be to keep the lowest monthly wages budget possible.

I believe some screenshots of the financial situation would be needed to see if it's a bug or not.

I am trying myself to play with Schalke but the club goes in administration a couple of weeks later, and players are starting to get sold. I'd be interested to know what players did you sell and buy at the beginning of your save.

It says in the screenshot that you get 30% of sales added to your transfer budget. I understand that it's not great, but it's a lot better than 0%, so it has definitely increased since the start of the game, Furthermore, while the board refuses you initially, it allows you to discuss the issue. It's sometimes worth saving before such an interaction to learn what responses are best to choose. 

Given the very precarious situation with the finances at Schalke and the attributes set to their board, they may well be much more restrained in terms of how much they free up for transfers. I don't know the terms of the debts Schalke have off-hand, but I don't expect you'd have paid off all outstanding debts by 2026. That could certainly be a contributing factor. 

To investigate this further we'd realistically need your save game file to take a look over it. A guide on how to do so is available here:

First of all, thanks to everyone who responded to the topic.

Now I am in the 28-29 season, I have further improved the financial situation in the club and at the moment the percentage of sales is at 75%.

I just didn’t quite understand why the management didn’t increase this percentage for so long, since literally 2 seasons from the start the club’s budget was more than 100 million. Now it is at the level of 200+ million, but management still refuses to increase the percentage of player sales to 100%.

Obviously, there is no bug here and it just takes a lot of time to achieve the desired 100% of sales. I’ve just never encountered something like this before, where over the course of 5+ seasons with a very good financial situation, the percentage of sales grew so slowly.

Thanks again everyone for your comments!

Thanks for coming back and clarifying that situation. Keep in mind reaching 100% isn't a guarantee, some owners will never free up all of the player sales for you to reinvest.
