An interesting article from the French Football press published on Dec 3rd 2018 (sorry about the translation). The comment about the loan to Galatasaray not being allowed is interesting, that may set the level for the clubs he's thinking about. They're suggesting a €20M ceiling on his value.

After the matches, when he knows he will appear in front of the media, Emiliano Sala often sends the instructions to the communication department of the club. No need to question him on his future, on his extension, the striker FCN does not wish to vent on these topics. Ten days ago, after the draw (1-1) against Angers , the question of his possible extension had precipitated his departure from the pool reserved for radio and print media.

The player's decision is taken. The "Sir more than 50% of the goals" FCN in Ligue 1 since the beginning of the season (11 goals scored out of 21) does not imagine continuing very long his adventure at FC Nantes , started in the summer of 2015. He he has a year and a half of contract left, but to date, an extension is no longer on the agenda. There has been no further discussion on this subject between the player and the FCN leadership for several months now. The relations between the Kita and the agent of the Italo-Argentine (Meissa Ndiaye), are very fresh and do not seem to have not facilitated the negotiations.

One of the lowest salaries of executives
In addition, Sala feels that she is not being treated properly. At the end of October, he had entrusted L'Equipe with his feeling that he had to prove more than the others ... In Nantes, he earned 40,000 euros a month, a salary in the lower fork of the cloakroom and a low salary for emoluments. This summer, he also did not like to hear that the FCN management had mandated agents to find him a destination. At the end of August, Waldemar Kita refused to let him go on a free loan to Galatasaray during the last hours of the market. Exemplary, he had shunned only a few hours scoring even a goal in Strasbourg (2-3 success).

50% of the transfer to Bordeaux
12 goals in the 2016-2017 season, 12 more in 2017-2018, 11 after 15 days this season: Sala , 28, continues to progress. And his odds to climb. At FCN, it seems to have been noted that the player will not extend. Even if the management says it will not leave this winter, it is certain that in case of an interesting financial offer (knowing that 50% of the transfer will go to the Girondins de Bordeaux), Sala will leave. Waldemar Kita announced recently that his attacker will not pack his bags less than 30 million euros. Future offers should be more between 15 and 20 million euros ...

In England, the Italo-Argentinian fuels the greed. Crystal Palace, Fulham , West Ham follow the player. Both parties want to find their account: FC Nantes, on the one hand, is well aware that it is the right time to sell an item (Sala is the most beautiful market value of the workforce currently), free in a little more than a year and being in the shape of his life, and the player, on the other, attracted by the English championship (much less by China), by the possible possibility of playing in the short or medium term a European Cup and a substantial salary increase.

Halilhodzic warned
A month ago, the player told his situation to coach Vahid Halilhodzic in his office. The latter asked his management to formulate a new extension proposal to the player ... But that was not done. "Coach Vahid" is warned: a start from his best striker is quite possible at best next summer, at worst this winter.
