Nantes say they are fully compliant with FIFA rules and point to the fact that FIFA registered the International Transfer Certificate on January 21, 2019 at 5.30pm.

A Cardiff spokesperson said: "The club is aware of FIFA's request for a response by April 3 and is processing that accordingly. We have no further comment at this stage."

Cardiff will on Wednesday present to Fifa.

Cardiff City Say Emiliano Sala was not their player.

Emiliano Sala had not put pen to paper on a new, revised deal.

The technical hitch surrounded the signing on fee.

Cardiff will argue Sala would have had to sign a revised deal in order to play in the Premier League. They are understood to also be keen on making the case that certain terms of their transfer agreement with Nantes had also not been fulfilled.

Nantes FC will also present their case.

DAILY TELEGRAPH

SUNDAY 24 MARCH 2019

Cardiff City will tell Fifa the deal they struck to buy Emiliano Sala became “null and void” after he died when the club responds to a complaint over their refusal to pay Nantes his £15 million transfer fee.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal details of the case Cardiff plan to submit to football’s world governing body to explain their withholding of the first instalment of that fee amid a row over who owned Sala when he was tragically killed in a plane crash two months ago.

Their response, which they were given until next Wednesday to provide, will include the refusal of the Premier League to allow the striker to play in the competition over what can now be disclosed was a signing-on fee that was non-compliant with its rules.

It will also include what Cardiff will argue is the non-fulfilment of legally-binding clauses in the transfer agreement they struck with Nantes for the player.

As revealed by this newspaper last month, Sala signed a contract with Cardiff that was rejected by the Premier League only for him to be killed before a revised one could be signed.

It can now be disclosed it was rejected because Cardiff City had front-loaded his signing-on fee in contravention of rules stipulating such money must be paid in equal instalments over the duration of a player’s contract.

Sala would have had to sign a revised deal to play in the Premier League and The Telegraph can reveal there is a dispute about whether he had agreed to do so before he died.

Cardiff also plan to argue that a clause in the transfer agreement with Nantes – which they say the French club had even proposed – was not fulfilled.

A source close to the Premier League side told The Telegraph the agreement stipulated that the Football Association of Wales and France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) had to confirm to both clubs that Sala “has been registered as a Cardiff City FC player and that the player’s International Transfer Certificate has been released”.





The source said this had not happened before Sala died on January 21, despite another clause stating both parties had to make “reasonable endeavours” to ensure all conditions in the agreement were met by the following day.

“The transfer agreement between Cardiff and Nantes was subject to several conditions,” the source said. “If any were not satisfied, the contract would be deemed null and void, with no payment due.”

The source added: “Nantes proposed that clause. They asked for the strict notification requirements.

“The transfer deadline was just over a week after that. So if the transfer didn’t complete on the 22nd of January, Nantes had time to find an alternative buyer for the player.

Sorry, but as tragic as it is, the transfer was complete. He had become a Cardiff player, so therefore they should pay up. Sala had gone back on his own terms to say goodbye to people.

Much has been said in respect of this tragic story and many who have contributed to threads on this board have said Cardiff announced his signing and therefore he was our player and the club should pay £15m to Nantes.

However Cardiff announced the signing of ES "Subject To International Clearance" and if you believe this story by the Telegraph then we now know the International Clearance NEVER arrived. In simple terms that means there was no signing and therefore NO transfer fee is payable.

Many have said Cardiff should pay because the delay was solely down to the club making an error in the contract documentation submitted. Well the reality is Cardiff City, Nantes, both clubs lawyers, the player, the players agent, and any other party with an interest in this transfer, like the McKays ALL would have had access to these documents and they ALL failed to notice that the signing on fee had been "Front Loaded" in the contract contrary the PL & EFL rules which stipulate such fees must be spread by equal installments over the full term of the contract. In my opinion there is no way Cardiff City are solely responsible for that and the responsibility lies with everyone involved in negotiating, writing up the contract, reviewing the documents and signing them. If this is true they ALL have responsibility for this contract not being worth the paper it's written on.

This is good news for the club but I get a feeling this my rumble on for years and the only people to gain out of this will be the blood sucking lawyers.

I'd like to turn the argument around. How would we fare, or be perceived, if we had paid in full when ES signed and we declared him our player then the tragic accident took and then we ask for our money back because of the outstanding contract technicalities?

irrelevent really as 99.9% of deals are paid upfront.

Ridiculous! would you pay out in full for your house if contracts hadn't been exchanged??
The club is a business nothing more nothing less with a board paid to look after it's interests. That includes not paying out for a player that wasn't legally ours.
