Springboks captain Siya Kolisi is set to leave French giants Racing 92 after just one season in the Top 14 in a shock move.
Kolisi joined Racing 92 last summer after he led South Africa to a second successive Rugby World Cup title, signing a long-term contract, making him one of the highest-paid players in the world.
But according to RugbyPass, Kolisi wants to return home to South Africa and has requested an early release with his former club the Sharks favourites to land him.
Racing 92 president publically attacked Kolisi after a disappointing first season in the Top 14. It now looks like the flanker will exit and return to the United Rugby Championship.
