FM 2026 Best Players - Football Manager 2026 Release Clause Bargains

Welcome to the best list of release clause bargains in Football Manager 2026 by FMSCOUT.com.

Release clause bargains is a list that has everything you've learned to expect from us; accuracy, depth, usability.

There are approximately 100 bargain talents below.

Released: November 8th, 2025

Minimum Fee Release Clause

This is a contract clause we can mostly find in Spanish leagues, which explains why most listed players belong to Spanish clubs. If you make a bid for that amount, their club will be forced to accept your offer and let you negotiate contract with the player.

While I'm not listing the asking price, I have ensured that the minimum fee release clause is either identical or marginally close to that. In my opinion, this is what makes a release clause bargain. I've also set max age to 30.

There are more players with such clause, but their asking price is significantly lower - I haven't included those.

My rating (R) explained

This is my personal recommendation system for your convenience. It's my own assessment of the potential development of the young players listed below. For fairness, my rating reflects the player's average PA in case of range or the max PA in case it's fixed.

I'm using a 1-100 scale based on English divisions.
81+ all-time elite player
78-80 great player for Premier League
75-77 solid backup for Premier League
72-74 top player for Championship

FAQ

I can't find all players of this list on my savegame. Why?

I loaded all players (486k+) in-game to produce this list of FM26 release clause bargains. Your savegame probably has less players loaded.

Where is the downloadable shortlist to import in-game?

Sorry, I don't have one. I used to share shortlists before, but people would steal them and post on other sites without my consent. However, I will release a few shortlists with my favorite players.
