Every Top 14 transfer ahead of the 2022/23 season

With Montpellier now crowned Top 14 champions, attention turns to the players each side has brought in to better their chances of winning the trophy next season.

Newcomers Bayonne have been the busiest in the transfer market, releasing players to make space for known quantities in Maxime Machenaud and Camille Lopez.

Clermont have decided to call time on some of their ageing former internationals while Perpignan and La Rochelle have been similarly keen to dispense of players in their dressing room.

There are also a few retirements looming, including French legends Louis Picamoles and François Trinh-Duc. Below RugbyPass takes a look at every single confirmed transfer ahead of the 2022/23 season.
