Leading All Black Jack Goodhue is set to swap the Crusaders for a lucrative deal in France, according to a local media report.
According to Midi Olympique, French Top 14 side Castres Olympique are prepared to “break the bank” for Goodhue - only weeks after Crusaders teammate Leicester Fainga’anuku confirmed his departure to Toulon.
Fainga’anuku, who made his All Blacks debut against Ireland last year, has signed an 18-month contract and will join Toulon after the Rugby World Cup.
As first reported by the Herald in May, Goodhue has been attracting the interest of suitors from across the globe - with the Blues also interested in luring the midfielder back north.
