Contract of similar or greater value

[jwchriste]

I signed a player in a time of great need. He filled a purpose, but I planned on letting his contract expire at the end of the season. However, since he is only 21, I've received the email informing me that I need to offer a contract of similar or greater value if I want compensation when someone else signs him. Maybe someone will sign him, maybe not.

My question is what constitutes a 'contract of equal value'? He is asking for a larger contract, so I thought, I could just offer him an equal value contract that he will reject, and if someone signs him, yay!

Here's his current contract:

Obviously, I'll need to offer a wage of 325. Do I need to also include all the same bonuses, included the Cup bonus (moved to the next season?). Do I need to offer the same number of years (only one year in this case, but in general)?

I just want to figure out how to utilize this feature as it looks like it will become more beneficial once I move up the leagues.

Maybe a simpler way to ask this question would be how do I tell if this condition has been met?

Is it indicated anywhere in the player profile?
