You can already work with the following basics:- When searching for players in the scouting area, you can specify expiring contracts as a filter. This makes it possible to get good players on a release basis.
- Also very lucrative can be fixed transfer fees. If this is significantly below the market value of the player, because it is already one or two years old, you can profit from it.
- Always extend the contracts with your talents early to get ahead of too high salary demands. In this way, you can increase the retention period before the player may become unaffordable.
- In contracts, pay attention not only to the base salary, but also to the salary. This concerns, for example, the annual salary increase that many players demand. If many players have such a clause, the increases add up to a proud sum, which can bring the transfer budget out of balance.
- You can invite clubless players to tryout. This will give you even without scouting directly a better insight into the attributes of the player and can estimate its value.
- You can assign your sports director with the negotiations. For important or expensive transfers, however, this is not always advisable, as it is important here to keep control over all the details yourself.
