I was thinking that the other day, I imagine clubs try to cover all eventualities, but is this one of them? | ![](/images/avatars/1623.gif) |

Cardiff have said they didn't arrange the plane I believe, so if travelling via something they've not agreed to would it be covered?! | ![](/images/avatars/2143.gif) |

There will be and I was having a similar discussion yesterday that there will be disputes on whether it has completes etc. Not the same obviously but pet insurance has a period of 2 weeks from the policy starting to cover kicking in. It could become rather unsavoury. Too late now but I can't beleive that he was allowed to get in the plane, so many things that footballers are not allowed to do but he got in that, presumably because it was cheaper than a small jet | ![](/images/avatars/6574.gif) |

It was the agent that sorted the deal who arranged the plane, if I've been reading correctly. I would presume, the payment etc would just be written off by both clubs - although hopefully it doesn't get to that. | ![](/images/avatars/1623.gif) |

On Sky Sports News this morning there was a statement from the agent who arranged travel and it did sound a bit like he was trying to distance himself from blame saying he didn’t own plane. | ![](/images/avatars/17275.gif) |

I’ve always wanted to try and get an empty leg flight through someone like Stratajet and you see those Piper Malibus on there often and they’re not much cheaper than a jet. | ![](/images/avatars/17275.gif) |

Highly doubt it - by all accounts the deal was completed and from Nantes point of view the incident has only occurred as a direct result of the transfer, so not a chance they’ll be writing it off Cardiff will presumably have insurance arrangements in place for their players. Whilst obviously this case is particularly shocking, the concept of a football club losing an asset isn’t - be it through death, injury or other What may complicate matters would be how these policies work given he has only just signed. Presumably each asset (ie. player) is insured for an agreed value - but would this have been done for Sala given pen had only just been put to paper? | ![](/images/avatars/7468.gif) |

at a guess, id say it would need to be done, legally, ready from when the player signs. like buying a car, you need the insurance in place instantly to drive it away (not that I have done this every time I must admit) | ![](/images/avatars/2143.gif) |

It won’t have to be done legally as there isn’t a legal obligation for them to sign him - but any business purchasing an asset at that price would be incredibly foolish to do so without ensuring insurance is in place | ![](/images/avatars/7468.gif) |

Thinking about it I assume they must have done. He was due to train the next day - where whilst still unlikely the risk of injury would linger so presumably standard to put in place | ![](/images/avatars/7468.gif) |

The ex of Emiliano Sala... on 19:04 - Jan 24 with 1921 views | agentp | Of course he would be insured - triggered upon signing. A single-engined Piper Malibou would be acceptable for a short personal flight like that, but I find it strange; considering the element of over water travel that a COA operator wasn't used. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
