Cardiff declare Sala contract 'null and void' in Nantes dispute

Cardiff City will argue to FIFA that their contract for Emiliano Sala was 'null and void'.

The Bluebirds are refusing to pay the £15m transfer fee to Nantes for the striker, who was killed in a plane crash two months ago.

Nantes have reported Cardiff to FIFA, but Sky Sports say the Premier League club will contest paying the fee.

A Cardiff spokesperson said: "The club is aware of FIFA's request for a response by April 3 and is processing that accordingly. We have no further comment at this stage."
