Cardiff have rejected a statement from an agent saying they failed to adequately arrange travel plans for Emiliano Sala.

Sala's agent Willie McKay made a statement in an interview with the BBC, where he said that Cardiff had "abandoned" the player by making him arrange for a private plane on his own. But it is a statement that Cardiff staunchly deny.

It read: "Cardiff City FC strongly rejects the claim that it neglected to provide Mr. Sala with travel arrangements.

"Our club was in the process of organising a commercial flight for Mr. Sala until this offer was declined owing to separate arrangements being made - the planning and specifics of which Cardiff was not privy to.

"Cardiff has serious concerns over the potential unlawfulness of the journey following information that has been released. Clearly more answers as to the details surrounding this terrible tragedy are required."
