The Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed Cardiffs appeal over paying the first part of the transfer fee for Emiliano Sala after finding his transfer had been completed before his death in January 2019; Cardiff ordered to pay Nantes €6m, as per a FIFA tribunal in September 2019
The Emiliano Sala situation remains a highly complicated matter and the Bluebirds have been hit by a transfer embargo on new players as they decline to pay the transfer fee
Cardiff say they are prepared to put in a counter claim for damages against Nantes for up to £200M for loss of income because Sala would have kept them in the Premier League, they are also threatening to sue the insurance broker for not doing their job in not explaining the insurance process properly. Good luck with those.
