Owen Farrell in Advanced Talks with Racing 92, Potentially Ending International Career

Move would put further pressure on RFU's policy of not selecting players based outside the Gallagher Premiership.

  • Owen Farrell, England's record points scorer and former captain, is in advanced talks to sign with French club Racing 92, potentially ending his international career due to RFU policy.
  • Farrell's current contract with Saracens, his boyhood club, expires at the end of this season.
  • Racing 92, who lost star fly-half Finn Russell to Bath at the end of last season, have denied any agreement with Farrell, but sources confirm that talks have taken place.
  • Farrell had taken an indefinite break from international rugby in November, citing mental health concerns for himself and his family.
  • If Farrell completes the move, it would put further pressure on the RFU's policy of not picking players based outside the Gallagher Premiership.
