Nantes say Cardiff are exploiting Emiliano Sala's death

Sala

Getty Images | Sala died in a tragic plane crash in January last year while on his way from France to start his new career at the Welsh club, who had agreed on a €17 million fee for the player.

The French club issued a statement after Cardiff earlier this week called on French authorities to launch an investigation into the striker's death.

Last year, FIFA ruled Cardiff had to pay Nantes the first instalment of the transfer fee for Sala, corresponding to €6 million.
