The USAP is active in the transfer market like the MHR. According to Midi Olympique, the Catalan club is in the process of signing third row Mattéo Le Corvec.

Aged 23, this young player has great potential and has already distinguished himself in the RCT jersey. sees him as an asset to strengthen its pack and provide density in the third line.

Mattéo Le Corvec, the young hopeful of the RCT

Corvec, known for his energy and aggressiveness on the pitch, has not had much playing time this season with Toulon (2 starts, 167 minutes).

This lack of opportunities could well convince him to join the ranks of the USAP. Perpignan, which wishes to solidify its squad, is banking on its dynamic profile to inject new blood into the team.

Peceli Yato, the Clermont experience

Another hot issue, that of the powerful third row Peceli Yato, according to L'Indépendant and Prime. At 31, the Fijian international needs no introduction. His versatility and physical power could offer Perpignan an additional option, whether on the third line or in the cage or even in the center, thanks to his ability to cover several positions. However, competition will be tough for his services, as Yato is attracting interest in the Top 14.

Tristan Tedder, the return to Catalonia?

The Catalan club could also score a big blow by repatriating former fly-half/back Tristan Tedder. Since his departure from Perpignan for Racing 92, the South African has not had the leadership role he hoped for. A return could be beneficial for both sides, giving USAP a reliable solution at the open and in 15.

With these possible reinforcements, the USAP clearly displays its ambition: to remain in the elite and aim higher. It remains to be seen whether these negotiations will succeed, but the arrival of such profiles could well transform the face of the Catalan team for next season.
