AFP PHOTOBy Nahashon MusunguEnglish Premier League side Cardiff City has declined to make interim payments to French side Nantes for Argentine striker Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash on January 21. According to the BBC, Cardiff has insisted that the Sh2 billion deal for the player was not legally binding. Sala died in the air crash just a day after completing his transfer from the French club to become Cardiff’s record signing. Cardiff has also argued that Sala was not registered as a player in the English Premier League at the time of his death. The Argentine died when an aircraft piloted by David Ibbotson, who is still missing, crashed into the English channel near Guernsey.
