Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman has said the club's top priority in the January transfer window is to comply with profit and sustainability regulations as the Bluebirds look to build their squad for the back end of the season.
Manager Erol Bulut has spoken regularly about the need to add three or four players in the new year and last week said he is confident owner Vincent Tan would be backing him and the club in their transfer dealings in January.
However, in a meeting with Cardiff City Supporters' Trust on Saturday, Dalman said the club would need to chase money which it is owed in order to ensure they can work within the budgetary requirements stipulated by the league. Bulut has also spoken about offloading players in January which is likely to help in this regard, with the likes of Andy Rinomhota and Romaine Sawyers seeing very little game-time at present.
In their summary of the meeting with Dalman, the CCST said the Bluebirds chairman was keen to improve their squad in the new year. They wrote: "A question was raised from the floor about the prospects of signings in the January transfer window. Mehmet stated that the club’s first priority was to remain compliant with profitability and sustainability.
"He stated that we are on budget to be compliant but there was a need to convert budget to reality by ensuring monies owed to the club are paid. Subject to these provisos the club are keen to improve the squad. The question was raised that, if a substantial offer was received for an existing player would the club accept it. The response from Mehmet was that everything is on the table but the club would be extremely reluctant to lose a player who was key to maintaining the current on field improvement."
