MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has donated £1,700 to a GoFundMe page raising money for the resumption of the search of Emiliano Sala.
Meanwhile, Cardiff's staff and supporters will wear yellow daffodils at Arsenal on Tuesday in respect of the missing striker.
A rescue mission to find the club's record signing Sala and pilot David Ibbotson was called off on Thursday after their Piper PA-46 Malibu went missing on Monday.
The 28-year-old striker's sister Romina, joined by many football stars, pleaded to resume the search - and the Argentine's family launched a page to raise money for a private rescue operation.
And the fundraiser has already collected more than £120,000 from the targeted £130,000 - with Citizens midfielder Gundogan among the donors.
The German donated £1,700 and was joined by Leicester City winger Demarai Gray and Bayern Munich's Corentin Tolisso, among others.
More news on Emiliano Sala
Bluebirds COO Choo says Cardiff still believe the 28-year-old Argentine can be found alive, and confirms that the club's staff will be wearing daffodils at the Emirates on Tuesday in honour of Sala.
He told the BBC: "At this point in time we haven't finalised everything, but we will be wearing yellow daffodils on behalf of the club [on Tuesday].
"It is a yellow flower, the flower of Wales and has significance to Nantes.
"We feel for FC Nantes, their fans and players. They definitely know Emiliano better than we do and it is tougher for them, at this point in time."

Choo also says the trip to London will be difficult for Cardiff players as atmosphere at the club remains "sombre" - with distressed boss Neil Warnock taking some time off to spend with his family on Friday.
He added: "I could say it's still far from normality at this point and I don't expect the players to be laughing and smiling and hoping and cheering.
"At this point in time, things are looking sombre and they have a lot of respect for their team-mates and they know how I feel and the wider club.
"So it will take time for a wound to heal and I think we just have to take its natural course.
"He [Warnock] is quite distressed about the situation. It's tough.
"He is taking the afternoon off. Usually he doesn't but after lunch he just needs a break. We just have to give him some time with his family as well."
