Sergio Parisse is a hot commodity right now.
The Stade Francais back-row could be out of a job at the end of the season, as could many of his teammates with the French club struggling financially.
A number of consortiums are currently in talks to takeover the French giants, but nothing concrete has emerged as of yet.
Parisse is the highest earner at Stade, and in the entire Top 14 on a whopping €500,000 a season, meaning holding onto him will be difficult.
The Italian captain recently sat down with Midi Olympique and revealed that his future is currently on standby, but reiterated he has a contract with Stade until 2020. He did however reveal that his agent has spoken to Lyon, who are in need of a replacement for Gloucester bound Carl Fearns.
Parisse: "I've been linked everywhere: Gloucester, Lyon, Montpellier…but I am under contract to Stade Francais until 2020."
