Speculation surrounding the future of Owen Farrell has come as a “shock to absolutely everyone”, says his Saracens and England team-mate Jamie George.
Fly-half Farrell, 32, has been linked with a move to French side Racing 92 at the end of this season.
The French club have denied having an agreement in place to sign England’s record points scorer, who is currently taking a break from Test rugby.
“We don’t know whether he’s leaving or not,” George told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“The speculation only broke recently so it came as a shock to absolutely everyone.
“I think Owen’s quite a private person generally. Myself and Owen are very close so it’s something we probably will have a conversation about but I haven’t spoken to him about it yet.
“Ultimately it’s his decision, whatever he wants to do, whether he stays or goes.
“I know he’s going to be choosing the right thing for him and his family.”
