hubx Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Dear FM community. I have a lot of trouble trying signing top players in FM2016. I'm managing arsenal start first season and have bids accepted for e.g. Pogba (105m €) , Alaba (46m €) But the problem comes when contract negotiatons start... Pogba wants 400k wage and 20m siging fee !! Alaba wants 325k wage and 13m signing fee !! I tried 10 times but impossible to make them accept any lower contract... Is there any guide / advice to negotiate with top players ?? thanks in advance !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sounds like neither of them are all that keen on joining you but will if you pay them enough. Alaba is a key player at a much better club so what's in it for him to leave & it wouldn't surprise me if Pogba as a preference to not play in England or at the least a greater preference to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Have you scouted both players? If so what are your scouts saying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubx Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 yeah both scouted and both want to join my team. Maybe it is normal that they ask 13m-16m signing fees ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 What did the scouts suggest their wage demands would be? How did you go about attempting to negotiate them to a lower value contract? Are there any other clubs competing with you or showing an interest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubx Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 scout report for alaba says: expected wage between 210 - 245k for pogba scout report says: expected wage between 300 - 345k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So the agents have come in high to project a strong negotiating position, what did you do during negotiations? Also have you considered handing off contract negations to another member of staff? If it's not something you're good there's nothing wrong with getting someone else to handle contract talks once you've agreed a fee for player you want.

Pingdinho Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Does the quality of a scout and/or depth a player has been scouted to affect the accuracy of expected wage demands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
