There is also liability for the agent's fee. That would go down badly if the people who organised the flight were entitled to anything. I can well understand the club not paying the agent until the results of the various investigations are known but if Sala was 100% our player then we are liable to pay Nantes even though the request is somewhat unseemly at this difficult time. The other outstanding issue - namely Sala's wages - has now been clarified. It would appear we are liable for Sala's salary even though that does seem bizarre in the circumstances. I am afraid the lawyers are going to have a field day and as usual they will be the biggest winner in this tragic episode.
