Description of issue
Here's how to recreate this bug. Load up the save file provided and advance to 24 January, when you will receive an offer from Arsenal for Guido Rodríguez.
Click on 'Persuade to Stay' to try and convince Rodríguez to stay at the club. Say that "I will let you go provided we can negotiate a reasonable fee for you", and then select a value of £40million (or just leave it at the default £38.5million). Rodríguez will accept this, and the 'current offer' will change to reflect the fee that has been agreed.
At this point, you can 'Negotiate Offer' or 'Suggest Terms'. If you suggest terms at £40million, Arsenal will pull out of the deal and Rodríguez won't bat an eyelid. If you suggest terms at £38.5million, Arsenal will negotiate down to £35million, which you can freely reject without Rodríguez getting unhappy about it.
But to recreate the bug, you should click 'Reject Offer' and then continue the game.
Rodríguez will come back to you and say that he is unhappy the promise was not kept, because I rejected what he considered an acceptable bid from Arsenal. But he agreed to a £40million fee - and Arsenal never actually offered us £40million, did they?
Is Rodríguez unhappy that I agreed to a reasonable fee, but then refused to negotiate further with Arsenal after agreeing to this fee? If that's the case, surely this could be made clearer.
