And one more Argentine in Top 14. Juan Cruz Mallía will join Stade Toulousain.
This versatile 24-year-old three-quarters will not be disoriented in France, where many of his compatriots have started to disembark again in recent months, “encouraged” by their federation, bloodless because of the health crisis linked to Covid-19.
The announcement was made by the Argentinian site CordobaXV, which refers to a six-month contract, as a medical joker.
Mallía must leave Buenos Aires on Monday, direction Toulouse via Paris.
Since this fall, the championship leader has been trying to strengthen his line of three-quarters, too tight quantitatively.
Lucas Tauzin operated for a meniscus will not return until May.
The club also wishes to anticipate the departures to come in selection (Ntamack - currently injured -, Ramos even Lebel).
After exploring several avenues, Toulouse has therefore set its sights on the former player of the Argentine franchise of the Jaguares, able to play in the center, the wing or the back.
Mallía has six caps with the Pumas, the last in the correction received against the All Blacks on November 28 (0-38).
