Player wants new deal agent says no interest

[whyidie]

Star player has me in a pickle. He wants a new deal. I told him I'd give him one. When I approach his agent, I'm told the player has no interest in re-signing. Players perspective of being too good for the club is understandable as he is far and away the best player on my team (Bordeaux) and he would easily fit into top half teams in one the better leagues. Meanwhile I'm battling  for Euro Cup II places. 

I resigned myself to having to sell him as he was in the last year of contract, but hate that I'm going to take a hit to my team dynamics due to not following through on the promise of new contract.

Bug or are agent and player (player wants new deal, agent says no chance) pulling a fast one on me ?

Hm, I've generally seen player wishes coordinated with the agent in this case. Have you tried talking to the player about firing the agent?

[whyidie]

Thats the way I thought it would go, player asks me why I haven't offered a new contract and then I tell him to fire the agent, but I didn't get that dialogue option.

If there are clubs interested on you player, you could wait an offer come in and reject it. The option to ask player sack his agent will appear in your mail. It might be one of the option can use.

I had this happen with Nelson from Arsenal this season - I waited until the end of the season (1 year left in contract); after a few weeks, he was open to signing a contract.

It's very strange, but it may be worth waiting for some time.

This should be presented in the Bugs section, with a save!  I bet that there is nowhere to say to the player that he should fire is agent!  If there is no way to connect the dots, it is a bug.  Player =yes, agent =no? than all of this = bug.
