Career mode player negotiations impossible

I started a Barca career mode and tried to sign a few cb’s, but every time I try and negotiate it goes terrible. The team says their willing to sell for at least 10 mil over what the scout recommendation realistic price is and when I try lowering it a little they counter with a price over their initial price and stick to that new price. Latest example was Gabriel, arsenal offered to sell for 91.6 40% upfront and the rest over 7 installments, realistic scout recommendation was 41-82 mil so I offered 86.6 mil with the same installments and they countered with 97.6 keeping the installment plan and raising tension a lot. I tried going up to their initial offer that raised tension even more and they kept it at the 97.6 deal so I offered 94.6 with the installment plan and the deal fell through. Same thing happened with Nico schlotterbeck, and Jonathan Tah’s contract (even though I had the money for his absurdly high salary demands 480k and 5 mil signing bonus) the board rejected the Tah deal. But even before today’s update I tried a Liverpool career mode and same thing happened, I go a little lower from what they offer to sell their player for and they counter with higher than their first offer. I don’t know if this is a bug or intentional but it makes transfers annoying because it’s either you accept the first price they throw at you or you get stuck with a higher price.

  • Yeah it feels weird- I wanted to try something with the new negotiations,  so ended up signing an absolutely awful deal for Endrick just to have him scooped by another team after weeks of drama.

    Then I signed Victor Osimhen, great deal for my team, took all of 3 days with absolutely no drama. It feels like the outcomes of negotiations are somewhat scripted.
