“The only thing I can say, we (Cardiff City) have not paid the first installment for Sala, and I can’t say anything more at this time,” Dalman told L’Equipe.

“Currently, the body has not been found, and this is a sensitive time for everyone. We will pay (transfer fees) if we feel the time is right for that,” he concluded.
