Racing 92 centre Gael Fickou said on Monday he will 'respect' Siya Kolisi's choice if the South Africa captain decides to leave the French club after just one year of a three-year deal.
Double World Cup winner Kolisi, 33, has been linked with a move back to the Sharks in Durban.
According to website RugbyPass , an American businessman has offered to pay for Kolisi's transfer with the flanker's family homesick in the French capital.
'His choice will be the right one for him,' France centre Fickou told AFP.
'If he feels like his family are not well settled in France and that he needs to be down there, then I understand it and we will respect that.'
