Midi Olympique are reporting that Toulon is expected to complete the signing of Lions, Wales and Ospreys scrumhalf Rhys Webb ahead of next season.
The scrum-halves National Dual Contract with the WRU and his home region Ospreys expires at the end of the season.
Webb had insisted he wanted to stay in Wales, but these fresh reports put a question mark over his future once again.
His halfback partner Dan Biggar has already signed a deal to leave Wales for Northampton leaving Gatland with some tough selection decisions to make next season.
