I find this not very realistic and hope it will get better in the next version. I could understand that they ask for triple wages if they really really want to get out of the club. To force a move, but most times this happens with players that are totally fine otherwise with their situation with the club. I too try to be out in front with the contracts after the january window, but sometimes promotion hangs in the balance till the final games of the season, and sometimes it dont make sense to extend contracts if you dont know what division you are staying in.
