Player’s mother, Mercedes Taffarel, tells jury her son ‘felt in the middle of the dispute’ over transfer to Cardiff City
The footballer Emiliano Sala was put under pressure to complete his multimillion-pound transfer to the
Premier League before he died in a
plane crash as he headed to his new club, an inquest jury has been told.
Sala’s mother, Mercedes Taffarel, said the weeks before the private plane he was in crashed into the Channel as he travelled from Nantes in
France to join Cardiff City seemed “very intense”.
