Re: Player transfer requests despite regular playing time and high morale
EAFC 27 Manager Career – Players Automatically Transfer Listed Due to Morale Bug and Unable to Renew Contracts
I’m experiencing a frustrating issue in Manager Career Mode on EAFC 27.
During the season, several of my players became unhappy, and the game automatically placed them on the transfer list. I did not manually add these players to the transfer list.
The problem is that once they have been placed on the transfer list, I am unable to offer them new contracts, even when I want to keep them at the club.
This has become a particularly serious issue because some of these players are now in the final 12 months of their contracts. I am potentially going to lose important players for nothing because the game won’t allow me to negotiate new contracts with them.
I’ve installed the latest update (10 November 2026), but the existing transfer-listed status has not been removed, and I still cannot offer these players new contracts.
I would like EA to address the following:
- Fix the issue where players become unhappy and are automatically placed on the transfer list.
- Allow managers to remove players from the transfer list, even if they previously requested a transfer.
- Restore the ability to offer new contracts to players who have requested a transfer.
- Provide a fix for existing career saves, not just prevent the issue from happening in new saves.
I have spent a considerable amount of time building my squad, and it is extremely frustrating that I could lose several players through no fault of my own because of a game bug.
Can EA please confirm whether this issue is being investigated and whether an update will allow us to renew contracts with players who have already been transfer-listed?
