Cardiff City are refusing to pay the first instalment on the Sala transfer, saying the contract was not legally binding.
Cardiff are claiming that if any part of the arrangement were not confirmed then the deal would be null and void.
Cardiff say that the FAW and Frances FLdFP had to confirm the registration to both clubs by the 22nd of Jan.
Cardiff claim the FLdFP had not contacted them either before or after that date.
That the FAW did not confirm this with Nantes, and the FLdFP did not confirm this with Nantes until the 25th of Jan.
I see this as Cardiff looking for the most minute loophole to avoid payment, they are claiming the deal should have been completed by the 22nd Jan.when Sala died in the 21st Jan. I would have thought completing a contract was the last thing on any ones mind. I also think that the completion date was nothing more than to make him eligible for their next game, not that he wouldn't become a Cardiff player. Sala's mother has made a scathing attack on Cardiff regarding their handling of the affair, one family member saying Cardiff have made his death seem worthless.
