Reports emerged in France last Wednesday that Nantes were demanding the first installment of the €15 million (£13m/$17m) Cardiff had agreed to pay for the Argentine forward.

And Dalman has confirmed those reports, telling BBC Sport Wales: "They have asked for what they believe is the money due to them and there is a process and they have initiated that process.



Dalman promised Cardiff City will be an "honourable club" with Nantes over the payment of a transfer fee for Sala, once they have gathered further information.
