Montpellier have reportedly offered CJ Stander  €840,000 a year.

The Ireland back-row has been on their watchlist, with his IRFU contract up a the end of the current campaign.

Negotiations are ongoing between Stander and the Union but it’s believed an initial offer fell short of what the player expected.

The Irish Examiner report that the French club have are willing to offer massive money to get Stander, which will be more than double the €400,000-per-year offer from the IRFU.

Last week Munster fans were relieved that captain Peter O’Mahony committed to the province by signing a new three-year central contract following speculation that he could move to France, while Simon Zebo has already announced that he will play in the Top 14 next season.
