    I'm playing in England and after one season I'm trying to sign two players who have expiring contracts. They both had the "Opt" status for opting to leave their clubs when their contract expired. I am now 1 months after their contract expired and they are still on expiring contracts and still require significant compensation if I want to approach to sign.

    This does not happen at players League one and the Championship. I also thought the Bosman rule meant that after a contract has expired the club didn't require compensation.

    I've attached my save file from August 23 to the SI cloud as "Brad Conway - Harrogate.fm". I don't have a save file from before their contracts expired. The two player I'm trying to sign are Archie Collins of Exeter and Nesta Guinness-Walker. I have attached screenshots of their contract status and the compensation fee's

    When I searched for the phrase "expired contracts" in the forum there are instances of this happening previously however no response was provided by SI so I'd appreciate one, even if it's to confirm this isn't a bug.

    I believe up until a certain age this is correct for English clubs to English clubs. It's to reflect the developmental process the club has completed with the player to ensure they are compensated for this. The weird issue may be that if they're looking to leave they haven't actually departed their clubs.

    Our QA team will take a look into this one further.

    Just to update, both players left their contract in October which makes no sense. @Michael SantI understand the fee element, the bigger issue is that they stay on a rolling contract when they said they were going to leave when their contract was up and then wait until the transfer window to close. This seems to be a consistent issue. I'd appreciate a response from QA
