ANDREW Farrell has spoken with Leicester Tigers and Saracens officials as he looks to finalise his '300,000 move from Wigan Warriors into rugby union.
Farrell and his representatives are also scheduled to speak with Northampton Tigers' bosses later this week.
Sale Sharks have again confirmed they are definitely not interested in signing the 29 year old GB skipper.
Its understood Farrell is provisionally lined up to play for England A in the Churchill Cup against Canada, USA and Argentina in June.
RFU chiefs see this tournament as an ideal way to fast track Farrell into the demands of top class international RU.
How big a loss to League? Have your say

Andy is well past his best now so why not let the lad have a crack at union. Worst comes to worst he can always come back and sign for the mighty sants!!
Regarding losing Andy Farrell.
It is never a good feeling to know that a very good Wigan player could leave the club, but its part of life.
The Wigan fans for over 100 years have faced this same dilemma and still support the club.
But Wigans youth policy, their reputation and pulling power means there will be no shortages of applicants for the loose forward position.
You can't blame a player and family man going where the money is, so I say good luck to him in whatever decision he makes.
