Cardiff City tried to take out £20 million in insurance on star player Emiliano Sala the morning after he was killed in a plane crash, a court heard - as the club sues insurers for £10 million damages.
Argentine striker Sala, 28, died in a private flight from France to Wales as he travelled to take up his new role with the club, then in the Premier League.
But Cardiff City failed to get cover for the star before his plane went down as he flew from Nantes, the insurance company revealed.
