A More Realistic Approach to Offloading Players
FM's team has harnessed their industry insights to simulate the art of offloading players, a task managers often find challenging. The solution? A more layered and dynamic interaction with player agents and a groundbreaking introduction of Intermediaries.
In-Depth Agent Conversations: The ‘Ask Agent About Market Interest’ is a fresh addition that allows managers to gauge potential buyers' interest levels and the potential selling price. The three response options—Desperate, Keen, and Curious—provide a nuanced approach to sell the player and help shape the outcome.
Updated Market Value Insight: Post the chat, the player's market value will reflect in a distinct colour on their profile for a specific period. This temporal marker provides clarity and acts as a reminder of the suggested market value.

Evolved ‘Ask Agent About Availability’: For purchases, agents now provide more detailed demands, including minimum fee release clauses. The flexibility to negotiate specific demands further adds depth to the buying process.
Intermediaries: The Game-Changers
Intermediaries are introduced as alternative negotiators when agents are uncooperative, or offers are unsatisfactory. These brokers, hired by the Director of Football, will generate interest based on their reach and ability. Their commission is capped at 10%, providing a realistic touch to the financial aspects of the game.

Hiring an Intermediary: The process is initiated via the Transfer dropdown. A successful hire can open doors to clubs that the player's agent might not have considered, thanks to the Intermediary's unique connections.
TransferRoom: A Pioneering Feature
FM24 partners with TransferRoom, replacing the “offer to clubs” option. While it’s not real-time, this system collates offers, keeping the manager updated on interest levels. Importantly, Intermediary actions and TransferRoom can be used in tandem, enhancing transfer possibilities.
Streamlined Transfer Status Screen
With all these updates, the Transfer Status screen also undergoes modifications. Clubs now either have Active or Rumoured Interest in a player. The revamped screen has neatly sectioned options for Agent Feedback, Director of Football Instructions, Transfer and Loan Status.
