On Wednesday, the British media reported that Cardiff had mande an offer for Anderlecht’s Ivan Santini of around €5m, who would be a far cheaper option than Emiliano Sala, who’s value stands at around €25m.
However, it appears those stories were a bit too premature, as the Belgian side’s director of football, Michael Verschueren, dismissed the claims during a press conference on Friday.
When asked about a potential deal with the Neil Warnock’s side for their Croatian forward, he said: “I’ve had no contact with Cardiff”.
Despite losing his regular starting spot with Anderlecht, the 29-year-old has scored 11 goals in 16 league games this season, seven of which came in the first three games of the season.
