How to Play Contract Negotiator
Step into the high-pressure world of professional football agency! In Contract Negotiator, you are the bridge between a superstar player and a wealthy club. Your goal is simple: maximize your client's weekly salary through tactical arguments without annoying the board so much that they walk away from the table.
Research Your Client: Look at your player's professional resume—their goal tallies, trophies, marketing value, and international caps. Use these as leverage during the talks.
Tactical Talk: Choose from 4 unique negotiation strategies. High-risk arguments (like marketing value) can lead to massive pay jumps but are more likely to be rejected and drain the club's patience faster.
Close the Deal: You have 4 rounds to reach the target salary. Balancing the "Club Patience" meter is key—if it hits zero before you sign, the negotiation collapses and you go home empty-handed.
