yeah not likely for a foreigner to be a back-up setter, so I wonder what offers she might get
During CEV Cup, Alba Blaj coach went up to her and praised her as "world's best setter" after the match haha
Definitely an exaggeration, but the appreciation for her skills is definitely there
I'm quite certain PAOK wants to re-contract with her & Jaeyeong, but hoping she can play in a better league next season

Nothing official yet
They're allowed to play in Korea, but it depends on whether any club will sign them.
There have been rumours amongst Korean fans that a Korean club official had a meeting with LJY while she was in Korea, but it's baseless at the moment so I don't think it's worth believing yet.
Just curious where did you got the rumour about LJY meeting with a Korean club? If it’s true, good for her. If i recall correctly she didn’t really want to play outside due to her injuries.
Even the male player with dating violence controversy can comeback when his scandal was recent one.

With 3+2, they will have room for a foreign backup setter

Do you think it would be wise to have 2 foreign setters? While you are lacking good OH and MB? I would get foreign OH or MB instead of a back-up foreign setter.

I only mentioned it because it is better than what we have which is no news at all 😅, so I suggest you don't take that rumour too seriously for now
It was simply mentioned multiple times by several Korean fans in forums and fancafes, but they didn't provide any source or proof
So perhaps it may just be hearsays stemming from their wishes, as Korean fans want to see her back in the local league
But she definitely has a higher chance of returning since she was unrivaled #1 in the league for several seasons and her skills/output matched that of a foreign player.
Not injury per say, but she has a weak left knee from a bad knee surgery in high school.
As long as she constantly strengthens the muscles around her knee, she can perform like she always did in the past few years in league & international stage.
It was because of her 8 month hiatus and weakened muscles that she wasn't able to return smoothly on court in Greece.
She didn't really want to play overseas because she's shorter (179) and needs to jump a lot, she was worried that the care and treatment in foreign clubs would not be as detailed and thorough as that in her Korean club.
But if you ask me she really should try, one of the rare OHs with both good receives/digs and offence🥺
She has already long outgrown the Korean league.

They need good backup setter as much as they need OH and MB. yeah Maja is a legend but she has too many ups and downs at this stage of her career. Maja played horrible against Fenerbahçe and Vakıfbank in the Sultanlar Ligi, in last Cl final against Imoco too. And she will be 38-39 next year.

I agree that they need a good backup setter but I disagree that it should be a foreign.
It was said here many times Alexia would return to Vakıfbank
Nothing new to be shocked
Is she going there to be Egonu's backup, with almost zero chances to play? Or maybe as OH?

Backup to Egonu but she will be count as local. So she will have a lot of playing time IMO.
Playing time is important but working in a challenging environment with a top coach and top players is also important. Alexia has been playing regularly on loan for the last three seasons and she has proved that she has talent. Both coaches she had worked with might have taught her a lot but against top opponents, her game can stuck and she needs better help to overcome those difficulties. Even though being a reserve to Egonu might mean her chances of getting court time regularly is almost nil, she can use this time to develop and prove herself to Guidetti.

I thought he was going to stay with GS to be honest
Will Boz retire or return to one of the mid level teams next season?
Monza wants to convince Larson to stay, to be along Sylla, JT, and Folie

Queen + (good) Sylla would work!
They also have a quota for a foreign setter too then (sorry Orro)!
