Agent Involved in Emiliano Sala's Move to Cardiff Hits Back at Allegations of Wrongdoing in Deal

The agent of deceased Cardiff City player Emiliano Sala has said he is 'sick' of allegations of wrongdoing surrounding Sala's move from Nantes to the Premier League club, insisting neither he nor the club did anything wrong in negotiating the deal.

A flight transporting the player and pilot David Ibbotson went missing over the English Channel in late January, hours after the move had been announced, and was later partially recovered, with Sala being identified and pronounced dead.

Since then, controversy has surfaced surrounding the deal, with reports of Cardiff refusing to pay Nantes the £15m agreed prior to the player's death, and Cardiff have since been accused of corruption and wrongdoing.
