Wealthy French clubs Toulon and Racing Metro are reportedly vying for All Blacks star Dan Carter in a deal that would make him the highest-paid player in the game.
Carter, recently named the IRB player of the year, has a sabbatical built into his current New Zealand contract and it looks like he could make a fortune out of it.
Current negotiations could see Carter take his break after next year’s end of year tour of Europe.
That would see him miss the 2014 Super Rugby championship and the June internationals.
