According to Wales Online, the Gloucester’s captain is attracting serious attention across the rugby world — with R360’s rebel league and a host of European clubs all circling.
Gloucester are desperate to hang onto their talisman, but with a winless start to the season and big-money offers on the table, the Cherry and Whites could be fighting a losing battle.
Reports suggest Williams has already been offered a “huge deal” from R360, yet Saracens’ proven pedigree and title-winning allure could prove irresistible.
Williams’ stock has soared since moving from Wales to the Premiership, and a switch to North London would only enhance his reputation further.
Gloucester boss George Skivington admitted the club face a challenge to keep their playmaker:
“Tommy’s been great for us, but he’s out of contract. He was always going to be a target for R360 — he fits their model perfectly. We knew when those talks began last year he’d attract massive interest.
“We’re still in conversations with him and will see where things go, but we’ll do everything we can to keep him.”
