French international and considered one of the best players in the Top 14, Matthieu Jalibert is at the end of his contract with Union Bordeaux-Bègles. At 25, he seems to have some questions about his future, but his club intends to put the package together to convince him and therefore keep him for many more years.
While in football the transfer window closed its doors a few weeks ago, we are entering a very hot period in rugby. And this concerns in particular Matthew Jalibertwhose contract with theUBB ends in just a few months and has reportedly turned down several extension offers since last spring.
“We are in discussions, there is no problem”
Recently asked about his future at Bordeaux, the international fly-half was very evasive. We’ll see, I don’t want to rush, I’m at a turning point in my career. I’m not near the end, far from it, but I’m also looking to the future. I’m taking the time to think. ” explained Matthieu Jalibert. ” I see there is a lot of speculation. It is not necessarily the truth. We are in discussions, there is no problem. We will move forward slowly. “.
After Moefana, priority to Jalibert?
We could soon know the outcome of this soap opera!UBB has in fact recently made official the extension of Yoram Moefana until June 2028 and this file closed, the time seems to have come to concentrate exclusively on the future of Jalibert. No amount or contract duration has been leaked for the moment, but there is no doubt that the Bordeaux-Bègles leaders will do everything to keep one of the best fly-halfs on the European scene, a regular with the XV of France during last season. Note that if recently the opener seemed to be able to bounce back Racing 92 or even to French Stadium and to Toulonthe doors would have closed for the moment.
