Football Manager 2024: Here’s how to sign ANY player for just £2.5m

Football Manager 2024isn’t easy. Often, you can feel like you’re pushing a boulder up a hill.

If it isn’t the unthinkable unfolding in front of your eyes on the pitch, it’s off-field matters. Football is just so expensive these days, isn’t it? And your board simply won’t give you even money to get the players you need.

Fear not, though. Every player inFM24costs £2.5 million. No, really.

Let’s take Martin Odegaard, who according to the game, is valued at a minimum of £261m. That’s quite specific. We’re guessing thatArsenaljust won’t sell him.

Wrong. You can get him for 100 times less than that – offer £0 up front, six £200 instalments of £1.2k, a further £2.5m after 50 appearances and a 10 per cent sell-on fee.

That’s the magic number – and it works with anyone (providing they have any kind of interest in moving). Of course, there areeasier cheats: namely using the editor to just… move players around.

There’s no guarantee that you can agree a contract with anyone, is there?
