French rugby is experiencing an important movement with the announcement of the commitment of Wilfried Hulleu, the winger of FC Grenoble, at Racing 92. This transfer, which extends on three seasons, marks a turning point for the young player, already considered one of the best wingers of the Pro D2.
A well -anticipated transfer
Contacts between Racing 92 and Wilfried Hulleu were established from the start of 2025. After several weeks of negotiations, the two clubs reached an agreement to release the winger, who was under contract with FC Grenoble until 2026.

At just 22 years old, Wilfried Hulleu has already proven himself in Pro D2, where he distinguished himself as the best scorer with 17 trials this season. Its talent and its potential attracted the attention of high -level clubs, especially that of Racing 92, an institution of French rugby.
Key exchanges with Racing 92
At the end of January, Hulleu had significant exchanges with Laurent Travers, then president of Racing 92, and Stuart Lancaster, the former team manager. Although Lancaster was replaced by Patrice Collazo, these discussions undoubtedly played a crucial role in Hulleu’s decision to join the Ile -de -France club.
-An officialization expected after the season
The transfer of Wilfried Hulleu will be officially announced once the Pro D2 season completed. Currently, FC Grenoble is in good position to qualify for the final phase, with clear ambitions to find the Top 14, after having failed twice in the accession dams against Perpignan and Montpellier.
Conclusion
With the arrival of Wilfried Hulleu, Racing 92 strengthens its workforce with a promising young talent. This transfer is a sign of the ambition of the Ile -de -France club, which aims to reposition themselves among the best teams in France. Racing 92 supporters are looking forward to seeing Hulleu evolve under the sky and white colors from next season.
