The Ireland out-half has a big decision to make about his future…
Ireland fly-half Jonny Sexton has been offered a brand new four-year contract by Racing Metro and the 29-year-old is thought to be considering his options with a decision expected in the very near future.
Sexton moved to the Parisian club from Leinster last season and signed a two-year deal worth €700,000 and now the French side want him to commit his long term future to their project.
Racing’s coach Laurent Labit says the deal is on the table and he wants the Irishman to stay in the Top 14.
“He is thinking it over, we have discussed it with him. In his hands he has a proposal for a further four years with Racing.
“The deal is simple – either he extends and finishes his career here or he returns to Ireland. This is what he has to think about. But we know him, he’s okay with it.
“Of course, there are other elements involved. He has a child and he has to go away and discuss it with his wife. We hope he stays. Like he says, his son was born here and in 20 years he could be France’s fly-half.”
French newspaper Midi Olympique says Racing have given Sexton until September 15 to make up his mind on whether he’s staying or returning home.
