Put Kylian Mbappé away and stop looking for the biggest transfer of the summer on the Madrid side.

It is between Toulouse and Toulon that it happens.

Cheslin Kolbe has officially left Stade Toulouse to join the RCT before the end of his contract in Haute-Garonne.

"The RCT is very happy to announce the arrival in the harbor of the reigning World, European and French Champion, Cheslin Kolbe," wrote the Var club on his Twitter account, specifying that the South African s 'was signed for three seasons.

“The time has come for me to say goodbye to one of the greatest chapters in my history.

I hope you understand that the decision to settle in Toulon was not an easy one.

I would like to express the greatest gratitude to the entire Toulouse community ”, for his part wrote the player on Twitter.

The transfer fee still unknown

Arrived in 2017 on the banks of the Garonne, Kolbe was still contractually bound until 2023 at the Toulouse Stadium, with which he won the Top 14 twice (2019 and 2021), as well as the last European Cup.

RC Toulon therefore had to pay compensation, not specified for the moment, to immediately enroll the player, currently selected with the South African team for the Rugby Championship, a flagship competition in the southern hemisphere. .

Unlike football, the practice of transfers is still rare in rugby, where players traditionally honor their entire contract before changing clubs.
