Negotiating with agents in a football game

An agent is never in a hurry when they want to sell high, and always in a hurry when they want to close.

A real negotiation

In Shadow Director, each agent has a mood and a patience that change during the conversation. Depending on your replies, they are more or less open, and the price or conditions change.

Travelling to negotiate better

Going on the spot, to the player’s city, improves the agent’s starting mood. Trips are planned in Private life, with flights of varying cost.

During the window

Agents only answer when the transfer window is open: July, August and January. On deadline day, they call in a rush. See how the transfer window works.

Frequently asked questions

Can I turn down an offer?

Yes, at any time, but the chance may not come again.

Can the agent take offence?

Yes, their patience drops if your replies are clumsy.
