Players permanently stuck on the transfer list

There is a really frustrating bug in Manager Career Mode where players who are automatically placed on the transfer list due to a lack of playing time can remain there permanently, even if their situation completely changes.

It is clear that players can become unhappy with their playing time and request a transfer. However, once they start playing regularly again and even are happy with their situation, they should no longer be stuck on the transfer list. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove them manually if they were placed there automatically, and contract renewal negotiations remain unavailable. This can continue for years, even when the player is happy and wants to renew his contract.

I tested this extensively with Jonas Urbig at FC Bayern Munich:

  • In January 2027, Urbig became unhappy with his playing time and was automatically placed on the transfer list.
  • He still had approximately two and a half years remaining on his contract.
  • For the entire remaining contract period, I played him in the starting eleven in really every match, including the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, Champions League, Supercup and even pre-season tournaments.
  • He was never injured during this test, performed well and remained happy with his playing time throughout.
  • Despite this, he remained on the transfer list until the end of his contract. I was never able to renew his contract, even though he wanted to stay.

The game continued to treat him as if he were unhappy with his playing time, despite the fact that he had been playing regularly for years.

It gets even worse when these players eventually complain about their wages, because you cannot offer them a new contract to resolve the issue. The same problem also occurs with the loan list

This bug can seriously damage long-term career saves, as you can lose important players for no reason, even after giving them everything they wanted. I tested this for approximately two and a half in-game years, and the problem never resolved itself.

Please fix this. It makes absolutely no sense that a player can remain permanently transfer-listed because of a complaint that stopped being relevant years ago.
