So when you increase the monetary price you are prepared to pay for a player you have to increase the number of tokens you spend.
If you bid ( for example) 2 tokens + money (and money becomes unimportant at higher levels) you as the buyer will be paying 2 tokens to the other manager + 2 more tokens to Nordeus (tax, if you like) + the original 9 tokens Nordeus takes for brokering the transfer. Total cost to you 13 tokens. Nordeus taking 11. And 2 to the other manager.
Negotiations works better at higher levels, but still Nordeus are a little greedy.
Having said that, with the current auction system, negotiations are often a better option. Trick is to find active managers who will sell for a small profit.
