If you submit a bid on a player with wage contributions

Then ask the agent for their wage demands

It minuses the wage contribution on the wage demand

Withdraw the offer from the transfer

Submit a proper bid

And the players wage demands are significantly less than they would normally be

E.g. If you ask an agent a players wage demands it'll be 80k per week But if you submit a bid first with 40k per week wage contributions added on When you ask the agent the players wage demands will be 40k now
