Sala, however, was not overly keen on moving to Neil Warnock’s side, it has now emerged.
On French television on Wednesday night, L’Equipe Enquete played out a message from Sala sent to a Friend on January 6 via WhatsApp, which expressed his discontent at the impending transfer.

“So we had discussions and he told me the last night Franck Kita [son of Nantes owner Waldemar] sent him a message to talk, so he called him. They spoke. And, they want to sell me.
