Jonny Sexton will play in the top 14 next season, but not necessarily for Racing Metro - L'Equipe

Clermont, Toulouse and Toulon are rumoured destinations.

A REPORT IN the French newspaper Lโ€™Equipe claims Jonny Sextonโ€™s move to Racing Metro may not happen after all, despite strong rumours indicating that the fly-half would move there, after his impending Leinster departure was confirmed on Friday.

However, the paperโ€™s story suggests that Sexton will definitely play in the top 14 next year, with Clermont-Ferrand, Toulouse and Toulon all thought to be possible destinations.

The Irish international is also quoted as telling one of his relatives that he will play in the French league in โ€œblue, yellow or redโ€.

In addition, Racing Metro are understood to have been put off by Sextonโ€™s high wage demands, with their club president describing reports that they had signed the Dubliner as โ€œbulls**tโ€.
