French Club Nantes have appealed to FIFA after Cardiff City failed to meet the deadline for first payment of £5m for striker Emiliano Sala's transfer.

Sala's transfer fee of £15m had been dueto be paid in three instalments and Nantes wrote to Cardiff on February 5 requesting the first of them by February 20.

The clubs later agreed to extend the deadline but that has now passed without movement on Cardiff's side.

MySportDab reports Nantes have now contacted world football's governing body to arbitrate in the matter.

A FIFA statement read: "We can confirm that we have received yesterday eveninga claim from FC Nantes against Cardiff City in connection with the transfer of Emiliano Sala.

"We are looking into the matter and consequently we have no further comments at this stage."
