Alex Sanderson will now need to explore other candidates to bolster his squad.
Previously, Sale Sharks had aimed to sign Harlequins forward Chandler Cunningham-South, whose contract with the London club is set to expire this summer. RugbyPass had reported that negotiations were at an advanced stage. However, the English back-rower has decided to remain with his current club and is reportedly preparing to extend his contract.
Chandler Cunningham-South is currently with the England national team squad. He joined Harlequins from London Irish in 2023.
