Cardiff City are reportedly demanding Nantes pay them £104million in compensation over the death of Emiliano Sala in a plane crash in 2019.

In the latest instalment of the drawn-out legal battle between the two clubs over the Argentine striker's tragic death, L'Equipe are reporting that Cardiff want damages for the relegation they subsequently suffered from the Premier League.

Cardiff had agreed a £15m deal to sign Sala from the French club but the single-piston engine Piper Malibu aircraft transporting Sala to Wales crashed off Alderney in the Channel Islands.
