Nantes president clears up Sala rumours


"Today there is nothing on the table."


Tuesday 8th January 2019



An update on Emiliano Sala from France.

There has been speculation that Nantes club president Waldemar Kita has been trying to convince the player to join Cardiff, highlighting the opportunity to earn more money in the Premier League.

However, Kita has seemingly poured cold water on those rumours, which in all fairness do seem a little bizarre in the first place, telling French sports daily L’Equipe:

"We just said that the coach doesn’t want anybody to leave; I have the same opinion as the coach, so Emiliano Sala must not leave."

"Now, if he wants to leave for financial reasons, I will understand him and analyse the situation.
And I think the coach will analyse the situation too."

"But then he should be replaced as well.
The club president was even more straightforward when pressed on the rumours of him pushing Sala towards a move to south Wales."

"No, no, wait: I am not his agent and I have no intention of becoming one. I am president. That he has proposals is another problem. You don’t think I’m going to call Cardiff or whatever. I am not a broker."

"Today there is nothing on the table."

He's on his way then.

He's on his way then.

Hmmm thou doth protest too much ............... maybe ?

He's on his way then.

That’s exactly what I was thinking reading that.

Whether it’s to us, is another matter.

"Hes not leaving. Unless....." Cheerio old boy

Doesnt clear anything up makes it more bizzar,sounds like they are saying its up to him if he wants to move

Big call, the player will lose his percentage of the transfer fee if he asks for a transfer.
Personally think its a ridiculous amount for a 28 year old unproven in the Premier league.

So this suggests Cardiff have not made an offer, in which case which striker is Warnock after? The answer may be none now that Healey is back and sick note might manage 90 minutes sometime before Easter.

Games on their end. Probably want him to formally ask for the transfer so the fans blame him rather than the club.

He’s playing right now for Nantes, be interesting to see if he does anything at the end of the game

My over ding fear is we pay over the odds,transfer plus 50k a week,for a player that if rumours are true,doesn't want to come here I think we should move to another target, as this doesn't feel right just my two pennies worth.

Who said he didn't want to come here? Couple on Twitter. Warnock laughed when asked about that

I just read that a private jet has left Cardiff for Nantes, this from a good source by all account.

I don't know if its true so no abuse please

He also contradicted himself though. One min he wasn't interested then nantes are in talks with replacement
