During a flight across the English Channel, striker Emiliano Sala tragically lost his life in a plane crash while transferring from Nantes to Cardiff City. However, a financial dispute between the two clubs over the transfer remains unresolved.
Details: As reported by L’Equipe, Cardiff City is seeking €120 million in compensation from Nantes, despite already paying €17 million for the Argentine forward’s transfer.
The Welsh club consulted experts to estimate the potential impact Sala’s presence might have had on their 2019 Premier League survival. Based on these assessments, they calculated their losses at €120 million.
Reminder: There were earlier rumors that Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold might acquire Nantes, but these were denied by the club’s current owner, Waldemar Kita.
