There is growing concern that Cardiff's new Argentinian striker, Emiliano Sala, will be on board a plane that went missing near the Channel Islands on Monday night.
Sky Sports News It looks like the club expects their new £ 18m contract to return to Cardiff on Monday night.
In the early hours of Tuesday, rescue services announced that a small plane from Nantes, France to Cardiff had disappeared near the island of Alderney.
The French news agency AFP said it was informed by police sources that the 28-year-old was on board.
The authorities claim that the plane Piper Malibu, which allegedly had two people on board, disappeared from the radar near the Casquets lighthouse around 8:30 pm Monday.
A search and rescue operation is underway.
In a statement, Guernsey police said: "Guernsey Coastguards were alerted at 8:23 pm by Jersey ATC, stating that a light aircraft had lost sight at about 15 miles to the north of Guernsey, launching a major search and rescue operation involving both ports and Alderney lifeboats, and Air Search 1 and 2 HM Coastguard helicopters are also involved in the search.
"The PA 46 Malibu, a single-engine turbine aircraft, was en route from Nantes, France to Cardiff, Wales.Two people were on board when it was lost from the radar while Jersey ATC was trying to make contact .
"A search pattern was created on SARIS, based on the likely location of the ditching, and all search and rescue badets were sent to the area.
"The search was completed at 02:00 and all search and rescue was stopped due to strong winds, sea degradation and reduced visibility.
"At that time, no trace of the missing aircraft had been found.
"The plane left Nantes at 19:15 for Cardiff The plane was flying at 5,000 feet The plane that pbaded over Guernsey called for a descent Jersey ATC lost contact while he was flying at 2300 feet.
"Air Search 1 and a French rescue helicopter based in Cherbourg resumed searches in the region at 08:00."
HM Coastguard stated that the incident did not occur in the UK search and rescue area, although it was confirmed by the dispatch of two helicopters.
Cardiff finalized the signing of Sala de Nantes on Saturday on a three-and-a-half year contract.
The former Bordeaux and Caen striker's fees are a record deal for the Cardiff club, beating the 11 million pounds paid to Sevilla for Chilean midfielder Gary Medel in 2013.
Sala's last message on Twitter, Monday noon, shows the Argentinian posing with his former teammates.
