This comes after the late’s footballer agent Willie McKay
claimed the Premier League club abandoned Sala, leaving him to make
travel arrangements after his £15million transfer from Nantes.
The arranged the flight saw the 28-year-old lost his life after the plane crashed in the Channel last month.
McKay told the BBC on Thursday night: ‘He was abandoned in a hotel
more or less to do his travel arrangements himself. Nobody in Cardiff
seemed to be doing anything. It was a bit embarrassing for Cardiff.
‘They buy a player for £15m and then leave him in a hotel by himself
to go on the computer and look for a flight – I think Cardiff let
themselves down badly. The way they’ve acted so far, they’ve been a
disgrace.’
Now, French outlet Ouest-France, have leaked messages that show a
Cardiff Player Liaison Officer offering a commercial flight to the
striker.
