Cardiff City have reportedly served Nantes with an £80million compensation claim, believing the death of Emiliano Sala cost them relegation from the Premier League.
A new book about what happened to Sala has just been published, with some of the details from it reported in the London media. Sala was due to sign for the Bluebirds in January 2019, but the plane carrying him from France crashed in the English Channel and the striker tragically died at the age of 28.
Then-Bluebirds manager Neil Warnock was of the firm belief that Sala's goals would have kept Cardiff in the top flight that season. They were scrapping against the drop at the time and ultimately finished only two points behind 17th-placed Brighton.
