I've noticed a few things when negotiating transfers and thought I'd pass them on:
- The initial transfer fee suggested by a club is ALWAYS open to negotiation
- Changing this fee by 25-30% is normally acceptable
- A players wage demands aren't so flexible. A player normally wants 10% more than their value.
- A player will seek less than their value if they are unhappy at a club but even then re-negotiaiting the wage should only be to a slight degree
- The length of contract requested is normally short but is never a deal breaker. (For instance if a player wants a 1 year contract and you say 5, they will almost always return with a compromise.)
- The assessment by the scout that "A deal seems unlikely" doesn't mean you wont get the player. You should always attempt to sign a player even if you get this assessment.
If anyone has any other tips for negotiations please post them on this thread
