Cardiff are risking to be relegated from EPL

After the catastrophe, which happened to the novice of the Welsh Cardiff Emiliano Sala, the club still has not paid a single cent for the player. Nantes are threatening with a lawsuit against the English Premier League representatives, who can even get points deducted from them.

According to the agreement between Cardiff and Nantes, the Welshmen had to pay the Frenchmen 15 million pounds, divided into three payments. However, after the catastrophe with the plane, on which the forward flew, the money hasn’t been received by Nantes.

On Tuesday, the French club management sent a letter with request to take care the unpaid money for the footballer and also threatened the Welsh owners with court. At the same time, the Swallows’ management froze the payout and wait for final verdict regarding the reason for the catastrophe over the English Channel.

The footballer’s agent Mark McKay also claims the money from the transfer, who took part in the organization of the transfer of the Argentine forward. In an interview to L’equipe, Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman explained, why Nantes still haven’t received a single tranche from the planned three,

“The only thing I can say is confirm what you say. Cardiff actually haven’t made the first payment, it is true. And to be honest, I don’t want to say anything else on the matter.

First of all, the body still hasn’t been extracted. We have to show respect to the family. The process of extraction of the plain debris is ongoing. It is still too soon to comment on something.

We will pay, when we find it that the right time has come. I don’t think that in Cardiff they said, that they are not going to pay.”

After the 26th round, Cardiff are occupying 16th place and have only 25 points in the asset. Warnock’s team is one point ahead of Southampton, which are in the relegation zone thanks to a victory over the Saints in the latest round. Therefore, considering the situation, Cardiff will lose less funds, if they pay the footballer’s transfer and will get the bonus by the end of the season and not destroy their chances to remain in the EPL after the long-waited comeback.
