Four Lions stars who could complete club transfers after impressing on 2021 tour

The Scotland fullback, who was captain of his country in this year’s Six Nations, was edged out of the Exeter side by Jack Nowell for the Premiership semi-final and final last month. Hogg is set to be out of contract at Sandy Park in 2022 with early indications suggestion he could rejoin Glasgow Warriors ahead of the 2022/23 season.

The Lions captain signed a one-year extension with the Welsh region last month, but will reportedly leave that deal early to play a season in the Japanese Top League following the 2022 Six Nations. The Rugby Paper report that there is been an offer for him to join an unnamed club, a competition where the financial rewards can be eye-wateringly high, with Beauden Barrett said to be earning more than £1.5 million over two seasons.

Toulon are reportedly keen to persuade the Lions number 8 to cross the channel. Reports in France suggest that they’ve began courting the Lion over a move at the end of the 2021/22 season if he remains in England exile.

According to a report in The Times earlier this year, Leicester Tigers are already putting in work to persuade Curry to move to Welford Road when the England and Lions flanker contract with Sale expires in 2023. The club are even willing to pay a fee if Sale are willing to release him from his current deal early.
