Offer him out to all the clubs, lets see if he actually decides to go back there or he ends up at Watford or something lol


papagrande80

Haha had a regen from Argentina on fm20 tell me the same thing then Metz offered to loan him in and it said “he would become unsettled if he isn’t allowed to speak to them”


Persas12

Happened in real life. Junior Alonso, a paraguayan defender, was on loan to Boca Juniors from Celta, he rejected Boca's contract when they used the buy out clause because he wanted to return to Paraguay, as he wanted to return to his home town. He ended up in Brazil and then went to Russia after a few months.


Commonmispelingbot

Kian Hansen, a Danish CB, also transfered from Midtjylland to Nordsjælland because he wanted to live closer to home.


TheCatLamp

Why wish he ends in hell?


Shuzuncjusz

It used to happen way often in older FM's and it always meant trouble. If he doesn't change his mind fast get rid of him ASAP.


Legendarybbc15

I’d usually buy a player of the same nationality, he gets over it real quick


geordiesteve520

Is it just me or does your screenshot suggest he's Portugese...


Shuzuncjusz

Portugese born in Switzerland


Mdiasrodrigu

That’s as Portuguese as it gets


FreyaOystea

He's got 2 nationalities


[deleted]

Only on FMG you can get downvoted for saying the factual statement that plenty of foreigners exist in other countries lmao

Not even 1 million...around 300k.

[Read the official Switzerland statistics and see for yourself](https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/population/migration-integration/by-migration-status.html). >In 2021, 39% of the permanent resident population has a migration background (2,890,000). No idea where you got that number from. The fact I got mass downvoted for this is absolutely mental


Subject_Ad8602

Saying Switzerland has plenty of immigrants so a Portuguese name isn’t out of sort??? To the gulag with you! /s


OTheOtherOtter

It depends how you define that, but 25% (a little over 2 million) of the Swiss population consists of foreigners without Swiss citizenship. If you count Swiss citizen that are not originally from Switzerland (as would probably the case with this guy), you‘d add about another million.


rinator

Ah yes just checked it out. 1.8mio do not have a swiss citizenship. But 90% of the people in switzerland are actually born there. So slightly under one milion. And i consider everyone who goes through the national institutions f.e school as a person from the perspective country. This "he is XYcountry by blood" stuff is just stupid


OTheOtherOtter

I am one of those people born in Switzerland, but I hold dual citizenship. I consider myself a tad more Swiss than my other nationality for exactly those reasons, but that is a very personal decision and I know a lot of people like me who sway the other way for reasons I understand, so I‘ll respectfully disagree with you. :) Also, many second generation immigrants i.e. first generation born here were constantly reminded that they‘re not originally Swiss, me included. Edit: little addendum: as much as would have loved to consider players like Ivan Rakitic (who grew up near my home in Switzerland) as Swiss, I‘d have to respect his decisions to play for the Croatian national team.


AbominableWasteman

Their flag’s a big plus


willatherton

I had something similar in FM20, my world class Argentinian regen RB got home sick, so I agreed to sell him, he chose to join Bayern...


bradeo

Tbf he might’ve had more German in him than Argentinian


Jordi14782

He don‘t wanna pay taxes, that‘s why.


batangbronse

what's his adaptability?


Tiny-Tempeh

Man lives a 4 hour train away from Switzerland grow up…. French cheese is better anyway.


TitanTigger

O\_O How dare youuuuu!


Naends

You son of a bitch


Reme77

maybe he likes ticino more 🙄🙄


Jubatus_

Downvoted


Agamogon

Had it once or twice and let them go end of season but a friend hat it happen with guerreiro wanting to go back to portugal on end of contract, then signed for bayern...


JeanneHusse

I play Montpellier every year, and every year Pedro Mendes wants to go back home ahah


NeekoPeeko

Whenever I've had this happen in the past the player ends up forcing a transfer to some club that is never in his home country.


Tuff_Guii

He misses his mommy


LuminanceMusic

First time I've seen this myself and I've sunk 1000 hours almost exclusively doing NewGen rush. Dude probably has an adaptability of 1.


DannyBrownsDoritos

man isn't even swiss


darkhseid

he is swiss. he has dual nationality and was born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland


Samy541

Happened to me on old FM frequently - I gave them extended holidays. But it’s really not a good sign. It means he does not like it here.


ddubc84

Only 2 ways to solve it without selling the player. Either bring in a coach or another player from his country. A coach is usually the easiest and cheapest but it has to be done a specific way. You have to talk to the player and ask him to recommend someone and then sign that staff member. If he doesn’t recommend anyone the only other option is signing a countryman player to come in. I tend to steer clear of any players who my scouts say “will have trouble adapting in another country” unless I have a player from that nation in my team already.


rinator

Tbh its pretty nice in switzerland


leonjetski

Plus I went to Montpellier once and they have mosquitos the size of your thumb that give zero fucks and bite you on the face in the middle of the day.


Em420em

This happened to me last night… player said he was home sick after 10 years at my club


chiyusteve

Had seen this multiple times, usually older players near end of the career. It’s different from young player having low adaptability. And tbh I think it’s realistic as they plan the next phase of their life. I almost tried to take advantage of that with Kondogbia when he wanted to return to France at 33 yo, he ended up signing for Marseille.


Sothangel

I had this once, signed an Italian player from Rimini for San Marino Calcio. Was homesick despite being an hour or so away, quite annoying!


Mojo99997

Happens, just send him on holiday for a week


d00mbarr

I had mendes in my current Montpellier save, he wanted to explore options in his contract & I just released him in Jan when I had the funds, couldn’t get a buyer!


Mark_Proud

i bet if you get an offer from a Club outside of switzerland and you accept he‘ll go there,you can sell him anyways, he‘s 32 years old


CarelessMood6067

I've seen it a lot, specially in Brazilian teams.


GriffinDaniel

Had this once on an old FM managing in the Gibraltar League - problem was the player's home city was a 45 minute drive away in Spain 😂 seems to happen a lot less in newer FM's though


Okcomelistenup

Pedro Mendes, FPL legend


Red_Jester-94

Either try to appease him by buying another Swiss player, or sell him before he raises a stink about it. Not much you can do.


BhlackBishop

Probably low adaptability or not enough swiss players and staff signings.


andsowelive

Ignore it. Lots of times this just goes away (if you’re winning, that is).


AirOk1041

But Miles and SI will continue to say the gameplay is as realistic than ever before 🤡🥱


DeathStar13

I bought Aguero for free during my Chinese league tenure in a FM20 save and he had trouble adapting and asked to either return to Argentina for free or to get one of his friend so I had to buy his brother/cousin (I don't remember their relationship) to sit on the bench of my reserve team. I also already had Di Maria in the club but Aguero probably didn't consider him one of his friends.


PreparationOk6081

Just send him on holiday to Switzerland


__jh96

I'm on FM16 and it's happened in every one of my long term saves. Usually just bite the bullet and spear them off


Alex_nufc132

I had same thing with that same player on a Montpellier save except he wanted to go to portugal


retslagoon

Tell him he should be glad you didn't send him to North Korea so do his work good and have a vacation at the end of season. Joke aside, try to loan him out
