Bristol Bears set to confirm five huge departures with Semi Radradra leaving
Bristol Bears boss Pat Lam is preparing for a clearcut at Ashton Gate as he looks to release funds to improve his underperforming squad.
The Bears currently sit rock bottom of the Premiership, and big improvement will be expected for the 2023/24 Gallagher Premiership season.
Due to the constraints of the salary cap, they’ll have to let a number of stars leave the club in a bid to refresh the squad.
#1. Semi Radradra to Lyon
Following the departure of Joshua Tuisova at Racing 92 next season, Lyon wanted a high-level replacement.
According to reports in France, Radradra has accepted an offer of around £500,000 per season for two years.
A total agreement was found between the two parties. A pre-contract has been signed, which means after four seasons in England in Bristol, the Fijian X factor will return to the Top 14.
