According to the BBC, Mujati (28) is eager for a new challenge and has decided not to take the option of a third year on his Saints contract.
Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder said: “We will be disappointed if he goes, but you can’t blame him.”
“If teams come in from France who’ve got a bottomless pit (of money), and want to buy a front row, that’s what they’re doing.”
Zimbabwe-born Mujati has 12 caps for the Springboks after making his debut on June 7 2008 against Wales in Bloemfontein. He has scored three tries in the “Green and Gold”.
