Saracens' Star Owen Farrell Rumored to Join French Side Racing 92
Saracens' director Mark McCall expresses desire to retain Farrell but acknowledges player's right to seek new experiences.
- Owen Farrell, England's rugby captain, is rumored to be in advanced talks with French side Racing 92 for a possible move next season.
- Farrell's current contract with Saracens expires at the end of this season, and a move to France would mean he could not play for England under the Rugby Football Union's rules.
- Saracens' director, Mark McCall, has expressed his desire to keep Farrell but acknowledged that he wouldn't blame him if he decided to pursue a new experience elsewhere.
- Farrell has been with Saracens since his debut as a 17-year-old in 2008 and has been a key player and leader for the club.
- Despite the speculation, McCall has praised the strength and competitiveness of the Premiership and emphasized the importance of keeping England's best players in the league.
