South African star Johan Goosen's 'comeback' sets a dangerous precedentGETTY IMAGES Johan Goosen, pictured playing against the Wallabies in 2016, has signed a contract with Montpellier, after 'retiring' last year. GETTY IMAGES Montpellier have paid $1.9 million to buy out Johan Goosen's contract with Racing 92. According to reports in the French press, Montpellier owner Mohed Altrad will pay US$1.4 million (NZ$1.9m) to buy out the remainder of Goosen's Racing contract. Before Goosen, Montpellier also brought Louis Picamoles out of his Northampton contract for a seven-figure sum. How long before a rugby player follows suit?
