• CAS rule Argentinian’s deal complete before his death
• Club ‘disappointed’ and will appeal the decision

Cardiff have been ordered to pay the first instalment of Emiliano Sala’s transfer fee after the court of arbitration for sport ruled the deal was complete before his death.

The Argentinian joined the Championship club from Nantes in January 2019, and the French side’s claim for the first €6m (£5.1m) under the terms of the deal has been upheld by the CAS.
