Cardiff City hit with transfer embargo ahead of January window but are locked in talks to resolve issue

The transfer ban comes after the Court of Arbitration for Sport in August dismissed Cardiff's appeal over paying Nantes FC the first instalment of the Emiliano Sala transfer fee, equating to £5.1million plus interest, after it was determined that the player's transfer from Nantes had been completed before his tragic death in January 2019.
