Emiliano Sala's mother asks Cardiff to pay transfer fees for her dead son

Emiliano Sala's mother insisted that she wanted "justice" for her dead son, while she had asked Cardiff to pay the transfer fees due to Nantes.

The 28-year-old Argentine striker and pilot Derek Ibbotson were lost on Jan. 21 when their light aircraft crashed into the English Channel.

His mother Mercedes told L & # 39; Team: "The investigation is underway. I think that by the end of the year, we will know what has happened. We must be confident. I want justice done for Emiliano.

"So I have to trust, we are waiting to understand why and how he died, under what circumstances is he dead, is it negligence on the part of the airport, the pilot, the caretaker? agent – I just want justice done for my son, truth.

"Let justice determine if there has been negligence, if someone has made a mistake and has to pay .That those in charge of it pay.

"We talked about a lot of things.People said that one driver did not show up, that another one had replaced, and so on." These are questions we asked the British police.

"These are questions to which we still have no answer.

"I'm angry, yes, that's for sure. They did not take care of him. A player who is worth a lot of money. They did not take care of him as he deserved.

Cardiff agreed to pay £ 15 million to Nantes in the month of January.

"Emiliano signed in front of the press, in front of everyone, so they must pay too," she continued.

"Of course, they are also conducting an investigation to find out what happened, that makes sense to me, but they must honor their word."
