Scouts or Negotiation?

[Cat Harrison]

Correct. You can only make an offer for a player if he is from another manager (friends, negotiations, managers you bought from already, people in your Cup..) on your server and the player is three to five stars from your perspective. You need to be level 4 or above to do so.

Scout are the only extra star players you can buy. If you see a manager with a higher star player than six on your level, they have been trained to it.
