What to do when a player requests an insane salary increase?
In my FM26 save Saka is arguably the best right winger in the world. I lost a title clinching match to Liverpool and now his agent requests that due to his recent performances he deserves a raise.
I’m all for paying my guys, but after entering negotiations his agent wants me to almost double his salary! ($790,961.54 per week or €680,226.92 per week)
This is a massive pay raise and while I could probably afford it, the new contract would most likely destroy my wage structure. I don’t think anyone on the team makes above $25,000,000 USD annually.
Can I just ignore it and he’ll get over it or is this something that will unfortunately stick around with Saka/his agent for the rest of my save? He’s still under contract for four more years so I’m assuming I can just ignore his agent for now.
