Clermont, who lost to Saracens in the European Champions Cup final, will pay Laidlaw £456,000 in his first year and £492,000 in the two years that follow according to L’Equipe.
It also reported that Laidlaw was in talks with Toulon but did turned down a move to the south coast because they would only offer £456,000 for the final two years and less than that for the first year.
