Transfers. A Top 14 club wants to acquire Fritz Lee, not kept by Clermont

After 11 years spent in Clermont, Fritz Lee made his departure official. But the 36-year-old's future remains uncertain. Will he go to New Zealand or will he still stay in the Top 14 next season? This is a question which, for the moment, does not yet have an answer even if a French club clearly stands out in order to welcome it next season.

According to information fromAt the time of Rugbythe Samoan third row (36 years old; 12 caps) pleases Franck Azéma and Perpignan. Lee knows Azéma very well since the latter coached him from 2010 to 2021 (first as forward coach until 2014, Editor's note). Other Elite teams would not rule out studying the matter in the coming weeks.

Peceli Yato has already committed

Franck Azéma is doing a very good job in the Pyrénées-Orientales and intends to adjust his squad with all the resources he can have. It is in this sense that he decided, several weeks ago, to offer himself the services of Peceli Yato from Clermont. A clear desire to densify its pack.

Azéma trained in Auvergne and it seems that he has very good memories of his time there. So much so that, according to our information, he would like to enlist third line Fritz Lee. An opportunity which does not displease the main interested party who could thus close the loop with the one who launched it in France.
