Ibbotson.“As a reminder, these funds will be used exclusively in research (mobilisation of sea and air transport, exploration of the seabed, etc) and help to families. Thanks again.”The title of the campaign, ‘#NoDejenDeBuscar Emiliano Sala’, translates to ‘Don’t Stop Looking for Emiliano Sala’ and was set up in the wake of the search for Sala and pilot Dave Ibbotson ending on Thursday.A light aircraft carrying the pair went missing over the Channel Islands on Monday evening, but a three-day search found “no trace” of the Piper Malibu.Sala was flying back to Cardiff from Nantes having said goodbye to his former team-mates after completing a transfer to Premier League side Cardiff for a club-record fee.Emiliano Sala’s flight disappeared over the English Channel on Monday night2

The campaign hopes to restart the search using money donated.“This fund was created in response to the urgency of the situation and the authorities’ decision not to pursue the search,” a message on GoFundMe read.“Its sole objective, through a specialized (sic) non-profit organization (sic), is to help the family of Emiliano and pilot Dave Ibbotson continue the search.”Cardiff hoped for an extension to the January transfer window given Sala’s disappearance, but Ken Choo, the club’s chief executive, told talkSPORT earlier this week that the Premier League insist they must stick to the existing deadline of 11pm on Thursday, January 31.
