SALA IN CARDIFF
Nantes striker Emiliano Sala has flown into South Wales in the last hour for talks and a possible medical ahead of a £20m club-record transfer to Cardiff City, Sky Sports News understands.
The fee would dwarf the £11m Cardiff paid for Chilean midfielder Gary Medel in 2013.
BBC - Monday 14th January 2019
Argentine striker Emiliano Sala is heading to Cardiff City for talks over a potential club record £18m transfer.
Sala, 28, has scored 13 league and cup goals for French top-flight side Nantes this season and is manager Neil Warnock's main target.
The move had appeared to have fallen through, but chairman Mehmet Dalman confirmed the club are still keen.
"Nothing is dead until it is dead, there is still dialogue going on and we will see what happens," he said.
A fee of £18m would beat the £11m Cardiff paid for Chile international midfielder Gary Medel in 2013.
Sala's tally of 12 league goals puts him in third place in the French scoring charts behind Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe (14) and Lille's Nicolas Pepe (13).

Cardiff City are stepping up their pursuit of Nantes' prolific striker Emiliano Sala.
Sources in France say talks are set to take place in the next 24 hours for the £20million-rated Argentine who has scored 13 goals this season.
Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman said: 'We are talking about a striker in the £18m region, as has been rumoured, so money isn't the issue; the issue is finding the right player and the right price. Watch this space over the next 10 days.'
Despite being born in Argentina, Sala has spent his entire career in France, starting out at Bordeaux prior to joining Nantes via loan spells at Orleans, Niort and Caen.
Cardiff are currently in 17th place in the Premier League and are above the relegation zone by just one point.
Neil Warnock's team have only scored 19 times in the top flight this season, with Callum Paterson their top scorer on four goals.
The Bluebirds drew 0-0 with Huddersfield on Saturday and haven't scored in their last three games in all competitions.
Cardiff's next game sees them travel to face Newcastle, who are also involved in the battle to avoid relegation.
