The Emiliano Sala dispute explained as Cardiff City dismiss claims
Cardiff City are dismissive of claims they could be docked Premier League points over the Emiliano Sala fee wrangle.
The Press Association, a national news agency, have reported a sports law expert making the suggestion if Cardiff do not honour the £15million fee owed to Nantes for the transfer.
They quote Zurich-based lawyer Gianpaolo Monteneri as warning the Bluebirds could be punished, saying: "This can be from an admonishment right up to a withdrawal of league points."
Emiliano Sala was an Argentine player who signed for Cardiff City a few weeks ago. he went back to Nantes to tie up his affairs an then flew back to Cardiff to start his new career.
Tragically his private jet crashed in the Channel and he never made it. His body was found earlier this week and the pilot is still missing.
The transfer fee for his move from Nantes FC to Cardiff was £15m. Whilst Emiliano was still missing Cardiff received a request from the French club for the first £5m installment on the transfer fee.
Should Cardiff pay up or should Nantes write the money off ? Sala has not been buried yet and the pilot is still in the sea somewhere.
What is the thing to do ?
