While the season of Top 14 is in full swing, the clubs are already looking for reinforcements for the next one. THE Stade Rochelais and his manager Ronan O’Gara would be particularly tempted to recruit the Scottish star Tobacco van the Merwe to stop at the start of Raymond Rhule (Source: Top 14 page at Rugbynistère).
UBB: Future soon sealed for Matthieu Jalibert
This time, we see more clearly. According to the Olympic Midday, Matthew Jalibert (25 years old) is in the process of extending with theUnion Bordeaux-Bègles. The international fly-half will agree to return to the club with which he made his professional debut in 2017.
Recently, Jalibert reported stalled discussions with the president of the UBB, Laurent Marti. Finally, in recent days, the dialogue has been constructive between the two parties. As a reminder, the adopted Bordelo-Béglais refused an offer from Racing 92a few months ago. Stade Français and RC Toulon were also on the lookout, the Var club having finally hired another opener from theUBB, Mateo Garcia.
Dicodusport’s review : It had been in the pipeline for a few weeks, despite discussions that dragged on. Excellent for the UBB and the stability of the workforce, as Matthieu Jalibert is a cornerstone of the Gironde project.
ASM Clermont: George Ford (Sale) in the viewfinder
L’ASM Clermont on English time as fly-half? Benjamin Urdapilleta (38 years old) retired at the end of the season, future ofAnthony Belleau (28 years old) uncertain, Jaunards are in any case at work. THE Olympic Midday indicates that George Ford (31 years old, Sale) would be in the sights of the Auvergne club. Looking for a renowned flyhalf, the Clermont board hopes to make a big move.
However, a major obstacle stands in the way of ASM: Ford is under contract until 2026 with the Sharks. If she manages to convince the English player, she will also have to write a check to the club in the suburbs of Manchester to release him from his last year of lease. Furthermore, it will be a choice with serious consequences, since George Ford will no longer be eligible for the XV de la Rose. So to be continued.
Dicodusport’s review : If the signing of Enzo Hervé (Toulon) could occur quickly, ASM is looking for a renowned opener. The name of George Ford is circulating, and it would be a big move on the part of the Auvergne club, as the Englishman is so reliable. However, there seem to be many obstacles to reaching a signature.
Stade Toulousain: Ange Capuozzo and Santiago Chocobares soon set
The Toulouse Stadium is active behind the scenes. Ahead, the Haut-Garonnais club obtained the agreement to Georges-Henri Dove. The right pillar of Stade Rochelais has signed up for four seasons in the Ville Rose. At the same time, the English third line Jack Willis (27 years old) will extend his contract for four additional seasons, until 2029.
Behind, it’s calmer. After missing the international center, Yoram Moefana (24 years old), who returned to Bordeaux-Bèglesthe reigning double French champions want to lock down a few essential elements of their squad. In the center, Santiago Chocobars (25 years old) is well on his way to getting back on track. Arrived in 2021 among Red and Blackit is an essential cog in the rotation of the Toulouse three-quarters. Another file, that which concerns Ange Capuozzo (25 years old). The Transalpin is at the end of its contract next June. Courted by Clermont, Toulon and LOU, he should nevertheless extend.
Dicodusport’s review : Toulouse continues its extension mission. Ange Capuozzo has had a convincing start to the season and, quite logically, the Haut-Garonnais do not want to let him leave to strengthen a competitor. Santiago Chocobares has become essential when he is available. Logic, then.
In brief
• The Racing 92 has, it seems, found his happiness in the position of scrum half. Leo Carbonneau (20 years) will, according to the Olympic Middayget involved with the Ile-de-France club. A financial agreement was reached between the CA Brive and the Sky and Whitein order to release the U20 international from his contract in Corrèze.
• Always according to the Olympic Middayl’UBB would be close to obtaining the agreement of Bastien Chalureau (32 years old). At the end of the contract Montpellierthe second international line will not extend. Once mentioned in Clermont, the former Stade Toulousain player should strengthen the Bordeaux-Béglaise cage, already performing well this season.
