All Blacks superstar Will Jordan linked with shock transfer
imago1084431933h

All Blacks superstar Will Jordan has emerged as a major transfer target for French giants Toulouse, RUCK understands.

The 28-year-old is attracting concrete interest from the Top 14 champions as they prepare to replace departing France international Thomas Ramos.

Ramos has agreed to join Racing 92 after the 2026/27 season, leaving Toulouse facing the difficult task of replacing one of Europe's finest full-backs.

And Jordan has emerged as a serious option.

RUCK understands that Toulouse have identified the All Blacks star as a potential successor, although no formal offer has yet been made.

Jordan's current contract with New Zealand Rugby runs until the end of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.

That could open the door to a move to France following the tournament in Australia.

The Crusaders star has established himself as one of the world's most dangerous attacking players, capable of operating at both full-back and wing.

His potential arrival would give Toulouse another world-class attacking option alongside Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack.

However, there is no suggestion that negotiations are underway or that Jordan has decided to leave New Zealand.

For now, Toulouse's interest remains at an early stage.
