Argentine striker Sala was set to land in the UK to join Cardiff City FC in a £15 million deal, which marked a record for the Welsh side.
Search and rescue operations for the plane resumed early this morning, after being suspended at sunset last night.
Guernsey Police said: “Conditions during the search last night were challenging, with wave heights of up to two metres, with heavy rain showers and poor visibility.”
Cardiff City chief executive Ken Choo said that the club was “Very shocked upon hearing the news that the plane had gone missing.
