France wing Virimi Vakatawa

France wing Virimi Vakatawa's future remains up in the air after this year's Olympic Games, but Racing 92 would welcome his return.

Vakatawa played for Racing 92 from 2010 to 2014 before leaving the Top 14 leaders to play Sevens for France, where his performances earned a call‑up into the national 15s side ahead of the 2016 Six Nations.

The 23‑year‑old has impressed for France in the tournament with his offloading abilities and pace, scoring on his debut against Italy, which has led to a number of clubs expressing an interest in bringing him back to 15s at club level.

The Racing 92 coach clarified Vakatawa's contract situation with the club, revealed that Racing will be due compensation if he opts to join another team, given he remains under contract.
