As a reminder, the FCN introduced an “incident”, on July 24, for the purposes of forced communication of certain documents by its Welsh counterpart, in a procedure initiated in May 2023 by the CCFC before the commercial court. On the merits, Cardiff summoned Nantes based on virtual statistics to calculate an amount of “damage suffered” following the disappearance of Emiliano Sala, who never played in the Bluebirds jersey. After complex calculations carried out by different experts, in France and the United Kingdom, the Welsh club (demoted to the Championship at the end of the 2018-2019 season) estimated its “loss of luck » and its “loss of value” at more than 120 million euros, as revealed The Team. An astronomical sum that Cardiff City therefore continues to claim from the FCN, which describes these requests as“extravagant”.
