Pre-Contracts

Want to lock down a player before next season even starts? Pre-contracts let you do exactly that.

1

Pre-Contracts Open Mid-Season

A few days after the mid-season transfer window closes, the pre-contract window opens. This is your chance to plan ahead while everyone else is focused on the current season.

2

Either Party Can Cancel

At any time before the new season begins, either side can walk away. No strings attached, no penalties. It's a handshake deal until it isn't.

3

The Contract Becomes Binding

When the new season starts, the pre-contract locks in and becomes a real, enforceable contract. Same rules as any other deal.

Think of pre-contracts as a planning tool. You're calling dibs on a player, but both sides have an escape hatch until the season flips.

Pre-contracts are one of the most powerful tools in the game for forward-thinking managers. While everyone else scrambles during the transfer window, you've already got your targets locked in.
