A meeting between Racing 92 and Boden Barrett is coming!

As you know, the Racing 92 leaders recently contacted New Zealand international opener Beauden Barrett.

Eager to find a successor to Art Russell, Ile-de-France club intends to strike hard for the opening position.

However, All-Black’s salary claims are very high. They will exceed one million euros per season.

This is a very high amount when we know that the amount of the maximum salary will continue to decrease in the coming seasons.

Inevitably, the Racing 92 leaders cooled off and negotiations with the 31-year-old were halted.

However, according to information from Midi Olympique, Racing 92 could take advantage of the Blacks’ arrival in Europe during the fall round to meet the player and try to resume discussions.

But unless there is a major financial effort from the player or a major turnaround, it ultimately seems unlikely we’ll see Bowden Barrett drop in the Top 14 next season.

For his part, Stade-Français is still hoping to recruit Catalan opener Tristan Tedder. But the current Perpignanais is expected to stick to Castres Olympique.

Business to follow…
