Cardiff City tried to insure Sala for £20m the day after his death – court

Cardiff announced the club-record signing of Emiliano Sala on 19 January, 2019, two days before the plane he was on went missing

Cardiff City tried to take out £20m insurance on Emiliano Salathe day after he was killed in a plane crash, say papers filed to the High Court.

Sala’s plane crashed into the English Channel on 21 January 2019, killing the striker and pilot David Ibbotson.

A company of insurance brokers said the club failed to get cover before Sala’s plane went down in January 2019.

Cardiff City bosses are seeking damages of more than £10m from insurance brokers following the death.
