How to sign expiring-contract players in FC 27

FC 27 Career Mode player contract negotiation with weekly wage, contract length, signing-on and agent fees

An FC 27 career starts in the 2026/27 season, so a contract that ends in 2027 runs out at the end of season one.

Wait for January: According to allthings.how's guide, once the January window opens you can approach any player with six months or less left on his contract about a free move at the end of the season.
Use the filter: Dexerto notes that player search has a filter that lists expiring contracts directly.
Move early: Both sources warn that the current club can renew the contract before the season ends, so approach your target early in January.
