A departure of Louis Carbonel is becoming clearer. While number ten is under contract for one more season, he could pack his bags this summer. As indicated by Actu Rugby and confirmed by L’Équipe, rugby director Bernard Laporte would today be much more inclined to part with it after having done everything to keep it for a long time. Carbonel, who has expressed his desire to leave several times in recent months, could find a new base as soon as the Hérault club has finalized the recruitment of his replacement. The Argentinian international from Oyonnax Domingo Miotti (28 years old, 10 caps) is one of the tracks.
Stade Français on pole
To welcome Carbonel, the name of Stade Français has been regularly mentioned with insistence for several months. The Parisian club, looking for a high-level number ten, is still very interested in his profile. The French international (25 years old, 5 caps) is the priority track for Jean-Bouin where his current partner Louis Foursans is already involved. Discussions exist between the two parties but nothing has been signed at the moment. The file could accelerate in the coming days. Even if they are much less well placed, Clermont and Toulon, where he played until 2022, still hope to be able to win the bet once Carbonel is actually released.
