Racing Metro coach Laurent Labit has said that Ireland out-half Jonny Sexton has been offered a new four-year deal by the club. The former Leinster player joined the Top 14 team last summer on a two-year deal with the option for a third year. He is rumoured to be on around €750k a season.
Here's what Labit said:
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 OK 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.
Sexton was quoted earlier this week as saying that he was currently pondering his options but had pretty much already made up his mind about what he was going to do.
