Lions prop Asenathi Ntlabakanye is reportedly on the radar of Toulouse, with speculation that the Top 14 club is prepared to pay a hefty transfer fee to secure his services.
According to Sunday newspaper Rapport, Toulouse is eager to buy Ntlabakanye out of his contract, which runs until June 2026.
However, a contract clause could allow the 25-year-old to leave earlier, subject to the Lions’ agreement.

With the Pride lacking depth at tighthead following Ruan Dreyer’s departure, it’s unlikely the Johannesburg-based outfit would be keen to release Ntlabakanye early.
Toulouse, though, remains serious about adding the imposing front-ranker to their roster.
