Cardiff announced the club-record signing of Emiliano Sala on 19 January, 2019, two days before the plane he was on went missing
After making the payment, believed to be around £7m, Cardiff expect Fifa to lift the transfer embargo imposed on the club.
Cardiff have appealed to the EFL to lift a separate embargo so they can sign players in the January window.
Sala died in a plane crash over the English Channel in January 2019.
