Player Interaction - Actively Seek Transfer

We've all been there. Player is unhappy, and wants to leave. Offer him for transfer for silly money, and no offers.

Then you see the box - Ask <player> to speak to clubs.

Click it, and have a player interaction telling the player to look for a new club.

Only

has it ever actually worked? I've never said that to a player, and they've come back and said they've found a new club, or a club has made an offer based on the player or agent contacting them.

So why is it in the game? What's the point?

i agree with you, it doesn't seem to do anything, i have used it many times and not once has an offer from another club been forthcoming, i just have to keep lowering the price until clubs make an offer. i suppose the idea is that the players agent will go to different clubs offering him around, but if i have already offered him out to clubs myself then what difference is that going to make, its an odd one for sure...

tbh no, I've never seen it have any obvious results that I can think of. possibly it is something that works in the background.
