Wasps Highest Paid Player in World

Earlier this week, Wasps announced that they would enter administration. This is the second Premiership club to enter into administration, after Worcester Warriors. This news is devastating for the club and its players.

As Wasps were in dire financial straits, 167 employees were made redundant. Players were told to look for loan moves. They were also told to stop preparing for matches. The club was in danger of bankruptcy.

Wasps have had some of the biggest stars in rugby. The likes of Lima Sopoaga, Owen Farrell and Eben Etzebeth were all at the club. The club has won four Premierships.

Wasps are looking to bolster their squad with some new players. They have been linked with David Pocock. The Australian flanker has been a revelation for the club this season. He has also been tipped for a move to the Aviva Premiership.

Wasps are trying to pull a transfer coup. They have been linked with David Pocock and have indicated that they would offer more than the PS1.4 million offered by Racing 92. This would make him the highest paid rugby player in the world.

Wasps have already put feelers out to Pocock’s representatives. The Aussie flanker is expected to make a decision on his future in the coming weeks. He is thought to be interested in playing in England. The club would also benefit from his commercial deals in Japan.

Wasps have also announced that Danny Cipriani will be returning to the club next season. The former Melbourne Rebels star will join Kurtis Beale at the club. Beale has played over 60 Tests for the Wallabies, and is expected to play in centre or full-back.
