Olympic Midi Information. Contacts between Toulouse, Toulon and Melvyn Jaminet have intensified in recent days. If the agreement is not signed, the probability of a transfer of the international full-back at the end of November 2023 to Var is very high.
It is a sea serpent that has been returning from the Garonne to the Mediterranean for many months. This time, however, progress is significant: Melvyn Jaminet has never been closer to making the trip to Toulon and the RCT, the club he left as a teenager. An opportunity that could materialize in the coming weeks, without waiting lat the end of the contract. A revenge on destiny for the person concerned and the end of a very long soap opera for the actors of the two clubs.
A big transfer fee
To achieve this enormous coup, the entity led by Bernard Lemaître must pay another big check, as she did in 2021 to poach Cheslin Kolbe from the same Stade Toulousain. Indeed, the French international (20 caps) has a contract which runs until 2025. In the 2022-2023 off-season, the French champions also spent several hundred thousand euros to sign the native of Hyères (Var) from the Usap.

At this point, there are just a few things missing to make the deal official. In difficulty in its three-quarter line with the long-term injury of Romain Ntamack, Toulouse is looking for immediate reinforcement. The desired profile must be able to cover the flyhalf and fullback positions. For now, Ugo Mola and his leaders have not found the rare bird, even if they have made contact with several players.
Jaminet is expected in Toulon within three weeks
In the Var, highly placed people are working to carry out the financial arrangement. The club struck by thrush wants to avoid further upheavals with the NRL. Last month, the specialized disciplinary commission salary cap hasshut up auditioned Bernard Lemaître and Didier Lacroix for possible breaches of transparency in the transfer of Cheslin Kolbe (2021).
According to our indiscretions, the two clubs, which maintain good relations through theirs presidents, are optimistic to close the deal. Several actors have issued the possibility that Melvyn Jaminet be released after Toulouse – Clermont, on November 25. So the rear could debut the following weekend with its new colors pour the meeting against Pau (9th day of Top 14), in Mayol.
