Player Valuation: £35m
I suspect Nantes actions are related to the fact they knew this was coming , it is playing out exactly as many of us and I’d think they thought it would .
It’s distasteful to think of a footballer as an asset particularly when he’s passed away in tragic circumstances but they’ve purchased him and maybe wrong but I think registered him . They’ve then spoken at length about the tragedy the club has suffered but it seems seem to be unwilling to discharge what appears to be a lawful
debt . It’s all incredibly unpleasant, I thought on day one that the insurance companies view of the plane and any responsibilities sala himself had would be key and I suspect it will be . As I see it Ultimately you can’t hold Nantes responsible for a tragic accident that’s occurred once you’ve purchased the player .
There are in depth articles in today's quality press which would lead to more than a little doubt on circumstances, causes and fault. It seems far from certain that your assumptions are correct and more than a little wise to hold back on payment and wait for verification.
