I was working through the changes in the FM online database and didn't bother checking the thread first when I found another released player. The club didn't make it easy and announce the full list which is annoying.
So looks like 9 players released then!? 🤔
Players turn down transfers on FM all the time because they don't want the transfer. Messi for example would not even enter contract discussions with Pompey for example, even if a bid was accepted by PSG.
