Owen Farrell could be on his way back to Saracens after director of rugby Mark McCall confirmed the club has held talks with Racing 92 about a possible return for their former club captain.
“I think there are some discussions with Racing as to whether or not they would release him from his contract,” McCall said yesterday after his side’s final day win over Bath.
“We compile a list (of players we need) and, as far as I know, Owen’s contracted to Racing, so he can only join that list if they are prepared to let him go.”
Saracens are looking to recruit cover with Alex Lozowski set to be out long term due to an Achilles injury suffered at the end of March.
“When Alex [Lozowski] got his injury up at Leicester, you are allowed to bring in an injury dispensation for that player because he’s [going to be] out for such a long time,” McCall said.
