Maro Itoje seals England future by agreeing new deal with Saracens

England captain Maro Itoje has agreed to a new deal with Premiership club Saracens, securing his long-term future with the team and reaffirming his commitment to the England national side. The agreement comes after Itoje rejected lucrative transfer interest from clubs in the French Top 14.

Prior to the finalization of this agreement, reports highlighted that a potential move to France could have jeopardized his international Test career. With his previous contract—signed in 2024—scheduled to expire soon, Saracens secured the extension to retain the player whom club leadership describes as a brilliant leader and a core representative of the club's values.
