Players ask for wage increase when they are 34-36 years old

[Fancy Gaffot (Inactive)]

I'm currently in 2045 in my save and have problems with old club legends. When they are about 30 they are usually on 250-350k per week, their demands suddenly drop and they sign extensions for around 150-200k. By the time these contracts are expiring they are ~35 yo and I offer them extensions. Suddenly they demand star roles and 250-300k again., which doesn't make any sense in my opinion.

Here's my legendary RB who was on ~300k, then on 180k and at 35 years of age demanded 350k. Then he signed a pre-contract with Bayer for 82k:

 

Here are my current RW and GK

 

again, they used to be at 300k or so, then signed for less than 200k and now with 8 months left being 36 years old they demand... 350-425k..

And if I don't give in they will sign with some other team for 30% of that.

 

Is this a bug?

It does look like something's off. There's no harm if you report it in the bug tracker.

Not a bug 82k will be the AI team to AI team  wage ,but the human player always has to pay more

Well they are still very good players. IRL Ronaldo and Messi have been given raises well into their 30s so of the players in question are still good I guess it's a fair demand
