REVEALED: New Developments In The Louis Picamoles Transfer Saga

Northampton and France number 8 Louis Picamoles has reached a pre-contract agreement with French Top 14 side Montpellier, according to the club’s president.

here have been many reports coming out France that Montpellier’s president, Mohed Altrad, is determined to bring the 31-year-old back row back to his native France.

Altrad is quoted as saying that he will join Montpellier after France’s summer Tour.



“We signed what we call a pre-contract. Louis Picamoles should join us after the tour of the France team this summer.”

“Having said that, there are administrative issues with his current club that are being resolved. He has two years left, we are undoing this legal aspect,” Altrad said.
