In January, the football community was shaken by a tragedy, when the new "Cardiff City" striker Emiliano Sala died in a plane crash. The Welsh team acquired the player from the French "Nantes" club, but Sala did not have time to debut in the Premier League. The clubs had agreed on an approximately 17 million euro transfer fee, and E. Sala was supposed to become the most expensive purchase in "Cardiff City" history. However, the money never reached the French team. "Nantes" turned to the FIFA organization regarding this situation. They will await an explanation from "Cardiff City" until April 3rd. It is becoming clear that the Premier League club is not planning to pay the agreed amount for the player. According to "Cardiff City" representatives, the Premier League did not confirm and rejected the striker's contract, and the new agreement between the team and E. Sala was not signed. "The club is informed about the necessary clarification and addresses it accordingly. We have no further comments at this time," - said a "Cardiff City" press representative while speaking to the media.
