This is going well !!!
Reports in French media are claiming that Cardiff City’s £13million offer (€15million) has been rejected by Nantes.
The tweet below translates to: “According to our information the FC Nantes closed the negotiations with Cardiff for the transfer of the attacker Emiliano Sala, because of the decline of the offer of the Welsh club (15m instead € of 22m €). But in these times of mercato, the moods change quickly...”
Quelle suprise! Warnock should have locked the doors at the CCS and not let him out till he signed. Let's hope Sala turns out (if he comes) to be the messiah and not just a naughty boy, like Tomlin.Originally Posted by soulsurfer3
I doubt he would have been allowed to talk to us if the fee wasn't agreed. This just seems like spin.
Complete guesswork on my part and I'm not being entirely serious here, but the previously unenthusiastic Sala starts saying he wants to come here and his club rejects our bid claiming the amount offered has been reduced - could it be that some of the money originally destined for Nantes' coffers has been diverted into Sala's proposed wage packet at Cardiff?
No way should be paying that ridiculous fee, time to move on, we did our best, increase our bid for Mbwana Samatta!
I think Bordeaux get half of any agreed fee with Nantes so it was always going to be an expensive transfer, Nantes are going to push this for every Euro they can. Time to move on maybe ?
I don't want any players at the club who don't want to be there in the first place.
Honestly why would he be released for talks if a fee wasn't agreed?
Agreed, apart from the great odemwingie players don't rock up at clubs unless a deal has been agreed.
In earlier reports, the fee has been agreed, unless City have gone back and reduced the offer - which the report hints at. But why would we agree a fee and then say - actually, we don't want to pay that, we want to pay a lot less.
That's the way we roll.
Very Trumpesque if you ask me.
Perhaps Nantes thought we would pay £18m AND the sell on clause - now they realise we were only going to pay the £18m full stop?
We need some striker by Saturday.....big call for vinnie here
Looks like some serious negotiating skills are requirrd here. Time to get Theresa on the case.
That`s one way of not getting him !!!
I sincerely hope we have a plan B ready for quick action.
Something tells me we are being played here
The actual report from the local French publication. Personally I think this is just part of the negotiation end game. Didn't Mehmet say £18m (€20m)

You don't release your star player without agreeing a fee.
You don't send your 70 year old manager over to France to then back-track on an agreed fee. Likewise you don't travel to discuss a player who has no interest in joining you; despite the constant reports.
You don't mess around flying players in and out of the country to back-track on an agreed fee.
The 50% sell on clause is a massive issue and has been throughout; it's Nantes issue to deal with; but I dare say we've been trying to help where we can.
WOL latest, covering all bases it`s all in the translation.
Have Nantes 'called off' negotiations?
Despite the wording of those media reports in France that Nantes have ‘called off’ negotiations with Cardiff City over Emiliano Sala, a word of caution.
Those are translations, so what’s important and clear is that the French side have rejected the Bluebirds’ bid of around £13million.
This saga isn’t quite over, with Cardiff surely set to lodge another offer if they want to land their man.
This is very similar to the LFW saga
Yeah, and we all ended up doing the Leo Leo
We just need to get a deal done.
The consensus of the directors across the board would be split on this matter and it could end up as a fans people vote to establish a quick way forward, hopefully with no hard borders .
He will be off to spurs to replace injured Harry before we know it
It seems we have reduced our offer by €7m once Sala had agreed terms
