2 Leinster<\/p>\n
Leinster have built a reputation for bringing in elite players on short-term sabbatical deals, and if Toulouse were relegated, a similar arrangement for Dupont could make sense before a possible return.<\/p>\n
Recent signings such as Jordie Barrett and Rieko Ioane show the Irish province are willing to use this strategy to strengthen their squad.<\/p>\n
With Jamison Gibson-Park moving into the later stages of his career, Leinster would almost certainly welcome the chance to add a player of Dupont\u2019s quality, even on a temporary basis.<\/p>\n
1 Racing 92<\/p>\n
As a known PSG supporter, Paris-based Racing 92 could be an attractive option for Dupont. The club would likely be capable of matching his salary expectations while also offering the appeal of living and playing in the French capital.<\/p>\n
Currently sitting seventh in the league, Racing could view a signing of this magnitude as the spark needed to return to the top level of French and European rugby.<\/p>\n
The club has fallen short in three Champions Cup finals in recent years, and Dupont could be the player capable of finally delivering the European title they have been chasing.<\/p>\n
