It´s a known issue, that I´ve been trying to get resolved for a couple of years. I´ve made changes in the database in preparation to getting it resolved, ahead of the FM24 release. Can´t say if/when it´ll get fixed, but it´s the no. 1 priority on my personal to-do list
The contract status issue is however not a data issue. If you could please report that specifically under "Press Conferences, Player Happiness, Player Interaction & Player Targets".
I assume it´s an inbox item you get, with the player wanting a better contract?
