FC26 - Still can’t approach to sign players on pre-contract in January! 😡😡

This was a bug in FC25, gets to January. You scout players whose contracts are due to expire. You wait until January, then you go to them players to see if you can approach to sign them. And you don’t get given the option to do this. It’s really frustrating!? This was exactly the same in FC25 too. Does anyone else have this issue too? I just don’t get how the amount of times this was raised in FC25, EA still haven't sorted it. Just seems to be the norm now. Let’s see if this takeover by these Saudi’s sorts it out.
