Agent: Cardiff can afford to buy Sala for double his value - if they stay up

French agent Yvan Le Mee says Cardiff City could spend more than double than what Emiliano Sala is worth to land the Nantes striker.

And he admits that still wouldn't be a problem for the Bluebirds.

Le Mee said, "Take the example of Cardiff. The Bluebirds are back in the Premier League this year and want to stay at all costs.

"Today, leaders may be mad about Emiliano Sala (under contract with FC Nantes until 2020) overplaying the real value of the player.

"Recruiting for 20 to 25 million euros, even if he is worth only 10, this is disturbing. If they stay up at the end of the season, Cardiff will win 90 to 100 million from TV rights, it will absorb the cost of the transfer.

"The clubs are ready for anything and everything to stay in the Premier League, that's why they are exploding the market today."
