🚨 Big update on the Emiliano Sala case 🚨 Cardiff City is pressing forward with their claim against FC Nantes, demanding accountability in the tragic loss of Emiliano Sala. The highly anticipated court case, originally set for next week, has been pushed back to December after Nantes requested more prep time. Cardiff City is undeterred, insisting that Nantes “must be held accountable” for organising the ill-fated flight that led to Sala’s tragic accident in January 2019.
The Bluebirds are seeking roughly £120 million, arguing that justice must be served not just for Sala’s sake but also for his family and the entire football community. In a statement, Cardiff expressed disappointment over the delay, especially given Nantes’ previous confidence, calling Cardiff’s claim “absurd.”
Meanwhile, on the FIFA front, Cardiff has been ordered to pay Nantes the £13 million transfer fee for Sala. They’ve already paid the first instalment and are expected to settle the remaining by FIFA’s order.
As we wait for the case to resume on December 8, Cardiff City remains hopeful for justice. Stay tuned for further updates! 💙 #CardiffCity #JusticeForSala #FootballNews
