Over the past few days, via Instagram, Biarritz Olympique has formalized the arrival of players who had already signed during the season and the extension of seven Biarrots. Thus, Samoan international second row Piula Faasalele (36 years old, 21 caps) arrives for one season. Full-back Kylian Jaminet (28 years old), winger Bastien Guillemin (26 years old), third row Filimo Taofifenua (30 years old) and the two hookers, Yohan Beheregaray (28 years old) and Clément Martinez (28 years old) will play on the Basque coast until 2026 and until 2027 for winger Arthur Bonneval (29 years old).
For his part, Ilian Perraux (32 years old) continues the adventure at the opening with the red and white for two additional seasons (2026) just like the scrum half Imanol Biscay (22 years old), the Romanian international second row Adrian Motoc (27 years old, 22 caps), the Spanish international third row Ekain Imaz (21 years old, 7 caps) and the pillars Kilian Taofifenua (23 years old) and Giorgi Nutsubidze (25 years old). The other pillar, Zakaria El Fakir (27 years old) will be from Biarritz until 2027.
Tricky financial equation
They have not yet had the right to their Instagram post but will wear the colors of Biarritz Olympique next season. We are talking about the experienced fly-half Enzo Selponi (31 years old), the third row Jessy Jegerlhaner (27 years old) who arrive from Provence and the emblematic center, former captain of Perpignan and trained at the BO, Mathieu Acébès (36 years old). Their arrivals will not be made official before the beginning of July for administrative reasons.
Shaun Hegarty and Arnaud Dubois indicated in our columns that they were looking for pillars, particularly on the right, and a versatile player who could cover the second and third line. The tracks of the third rows of Racing, Kitione Kamikamica (28 years old) and Toulonnais Cornell Du Preez (33 years old) were under study. But without parting ways with players already under contract, the equation seems delicate for the club’s management and its financial means have almost already been reached for recruitment.
She has already not renewed wingers Vincent Martin and Yohann Artru. The latter would like to join the management of the training center. The third row and captain, Dave O’Callaghan (34 years old) was hesitant to continue another year. He received an offer with a halving of his salary and preferred to end his career. The third row Simon Augry (26 years old) is still in discussions for an extension. For his part, Fijian international Johnny Dyer (32 years old, 4 caps) had still not signed anything at the end of last week. Remember that the transfer window ends this Sunday and that the resumption of training is scheduled for July 3.
