Chat Is this normal or a bug

[Charlielfc24]

my brother is doing a football manager save and was looking at thie youngster on the free agents as you can see he's still young. Is it normal for him to announce he's gunna retire at 19? 

[FuddledFox]

Maybe it’s because he is a free agent and can’t find a club so he is giving up on football.

Serious injury? I know that's been a reason for early retirement in older games.

I did ask my brother he checked and hes not injured. But he has been a free agent for 2 years. So maybe foxy is correct just been a free agent too long. But my brother scouted him and he was a 5 star outta 5 but he is league 1 but still a shitter that you can't ask him to reconsider retirement evan if there not playing for you

Yes I’ve had guys retiring around that age due to never kicking a ball, so AI must simply get rid

Why not sign him and then ask him to reconsider?

I’ve had it before on the game, they won’t accept as it comes up saying he’s retiring at the end of the season 👎🏻

once happened to me as well... 

if you are aware of the player 'Calvin Stengs' from Eredivise team AZ... he literally retired at the age of 23 if i remember correctly.. poor fellow - he told the reason, coz he is too old to play pro football.. wow

Wow, he's a great player too, so I can't see him not being contracted to a club when he chose to retire, that's a weird one

It is weird but I like some randomness as that’s how life goes maybe SI trying to spice it up ?
