Cardiff City continue to refuse to pay the court-ordered transfer fee to FC Nantes for 2019 signing Emiliano Sala. Now the Welsh club, who play in the English second division, have been slapped with a transfer embargo, chairman Mehmet Dalman confirmed. However, the club boss is confident he will be able to remove the embargo by the January transfer window, as he told the "BBC" in Wales. "I wish I had the power to take the shadow of this situation off the club. People at this club want this resolved," Dalman is quoted as saying. He said the club was in communication with the EFL in England and FIFA, and Dalman defended the decision not to pay a transfer fee after the Argentine player's plane crash. "People should not forget that a 29-year-old man was killed when such an accident should not have happened. There is a human side to this story, it's not just a financial one." Cardiff have been ordered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to pay the first instalment of the transfer fee, originally set at €17m, to the French side. However, Cardiff also rejected this first €6 million. Meanwhile, the club also received a bill from Nantes, Dalman said. "We haven't paid it and at this stage we have no intention of paying it until certain negotiations come to fruition." That automatically puts Cardiff into an EFL transfer embargo, he said. "I'm sure there will be further developments between now and January," Dalman said. "We are working hard to make sure we can do business then." As things stand, however, the Bluebirds are not likely to make any transfers in the winter. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
