Cardiff and Nantes have agreed to extend the deadline on the first instalment of the £15m transfer fee for Emiliano Sala until February 27.

The Bluebirds had been asked to make the first payment of €6m (£5.27m) to Nantes on February 20, but the clubs have agreed a delay of one week.
I have to say, I'm very surprised by this development and may go to show how wrong I was to suggest that City should just 'pay up' - if this develops further.

A swift resolution would be too much too hope for though, wouldn't it.
