Big bucks.
24-year-old Toulon winger Josua Tuisova is regarded as one of the very best wingers in world rugby right now.
The Fijian international combines absolute raw power with impressive pace, making him an absolute nightmare to defend against. He’s also pretty good at sevens, having won Olympic gold with Fiji in Rio.
But every player has a price – especially in France, with Tuisova linked with a sensational move to Toulon’s Top 14 rivals Lyon.
Midi Olympique are reporting they are prepared to buy Tuisova out of his contract, which still has two-years to run in what would be one of the biggest transfers in Top 14 history.
Owner Mourad Boudjellal was contacted by Rugby Rama this morning, and while he wants to keep Tuisova at Toulon, he say he would be willing to let him go if a seven-digit offer came in.
