Description of issue
I'm managing Barrow in League One and signed a player on a free transfer from Arsenal called Marcelo Flores when his contract ended. He has made 1 start for me in the cup and then came off the bench in 1 league game, after the league game i got a message saying he was 5 appearences away from making 10 appearences which will trigger a transfer clause to pay Ipswich £10k. This seemed strange as i got him for free so i checked my transfer clause screen and in there is shows i need to pay Ipswich £150k after another 5 appearences.
The player according to his history has never even played for Ipswich, only Arsenal and we got him at when his contract ended with no compensation as he was set to be released so we shouldn't be paying anyone anything based on appearences. I've put some screen shots below and i have also uploaded my save named Barrow Flores Transfer Bug.
After the save i uploaded i have gone forward until he played his 5 more games and we paid out £150k to Ipswich even though he hasn't actually played 10 games for us, he did however play 3 times for Arsenal which may be counting towards the total games. Also after that payout we now have a clause showing we owe Ipswich a further £45k after 19 first team appearences (this may have been 20 and hes played a game since it appeared and i hadn't noticed). That would be £195k for 30 games for a player i got for free to a club he's never played for.
The only thing i think may have happened is if Flores was poached by Arsenal from Ipswich and Arsenal owe them the money which has somehow transferred over to us which shouldnt happen and after the next payout there could be more appearing, i hope not as £195k is already too much for a club that has no money.
I have also checked the club finances and we only show as £45k expenditure for transfers even after supposidly paying Ipswich £150k but this is still £45k more than we had spent
Steps To Reproduce:
Check inbox messages on day of save to see the message
Check play history to he played at Arsenal and signed on free for Barrow and never played for Ipswich
Check Transfers > Clauses to see the money owed
Holiday with Flores selected in team or play forward until he plays 5 more games and message appears saying £150k paid
Check Trasnfers > Clauses to see new amount owed
