Emiliano Sala's story has taken all the headlines by storm. The player's fate after boarding a plane that should have seen him join Cardiff City has taken a turn for the worst, especially after a leaked message sent by the footballer to one if his friends.

According to footballer Diego Rolán, a friend of his allegedly received a message by Sala himself, in which the striker showed fear for his fate while on the aircraft. The Argentine allegedly said at one point of the message that the plane "was about to tear apart", and if that someone tried to find him after a crash, no one would be able to do so.

"Emiliano (Sala) sent a voice message to a group of friends. He told them he was afraid, and that if he was nowhere to be found, they would immediately know what had happened," Rolan told Radio 1010 in Uruguay.

Listen to the message Sala sent to his friends.
