CAS - Cardiff v Nantes

[Vindec]

3. Abbandonato suggests (but doesn't provide corroboration) that Cardiff City's insurers also believe that Emiliano Sala was a Nantes player at the time of his death and he was not covered by the club's policy.

The above suggests that Cardiff City had insured the player. Isn't that new information? While the insurers have taken the view they have that is meaningless if the Courts rule otherwise.

Insurance companies are rarely wrong in their assessments, risk management is their business and they only employ the best.

well when 2 insurance companies take opposing views, one of them is probably wrong

It won't be the insurers who made the mistake.

How could the club have insured him if as you say the insurers say he was still a Nantes player? They can’t….

I think both insurers are awaiting the CAS decision on whether Sala was a City player or a Nantes player at the time of the accident. Logic says he was one or the other, and then presumably the relevant club's insurer would pay whatever compensation was underwritten.
