Cardiff City could face a potential transfer ban if they continue to withhold the payment to Nantes for striker Emiliano Sala.

The Argentine's body has now been identified after it was recovered from the underwater wreckage in the English Channel.

Cardiff City are due to pay Sala's £15m transfer fee in three installments and Nantes have already threatened legal action against the Premier League club.

According to The Times, Sala's International Transfer Certificate was registered with the Welsh Football Association on January 21.

MySportDab report this means Cardiff risk punishment from FIFA if they do not make the first payment by the end of next week.

Cardiff are unhappy with the timing of Nantes' request as the French Club sent an email on January 31st demanding the first payment.

At that time, the search for Emiliano Sala and his pilot David Ibbotson had been called off.

However, Nantes followed up with a new letter on Tuesday, asking to receive the £5m within the next 10 days.

FIFA's regulations state that disciplinary proceedings against Cardiff can be opened if they do not complete the payment within Nantes 10days deadline.
