Work permit & contract issues with brasilian player in PL

Hello everyone,

I play in Premier League in England.
I've got an issue with the brasilian player Marcos Leonardo. We did not find an agreement in june when I tried to renew his contract. Since, his agent is refusing to negociate because the player "is not happy in the club". I did not have a second opportunity.
The only negative point is about the work permit as the player is concerned as he might not get the permit. He asked to be on a loan from january to june - the end of his contract - and maybe to be able to get the permit.

The player was trained in the club in England for 3 years, so it's very valuable.
At the moment I am in late december, the transfer period is about to start. I did not find any leverage with team mate, the director of football, or interaction with the player.

Any idea how I could treat this issue or how you would proceed in order to keep the player ? Have you been facing an issue like this in the game ?

I though about a loan and to use an "optionnal future fee" and "future buy back fee". What are your thoughts ?

Cheers,
Laurent

Future buy-back is what i went for with a player.
Its painful but it could be the only way to 'keep him'

my player was from Argentina and he was a striker. A sensitive player but the game options were limited. I would have loved to speak directly with the player but it was not possible after negotiations broke down.

Yes indeed it is.

Well, this is my feedback : I simulated the game for 2 weeks to see what will happen. I sent him away on a loan, hoping he would not signed any contract with a buy back option, at the end of january he was signing a contract with the same club. No way to get him back then and I don't have the player for the second part of the season ...

I will restart and try to sell him in January or he'll play with me until summer. Unfortunate.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
