    According to GLP, Sylla and Daalderop are staying. Bajema leaving.


    Orro contract renewal has already been announced

    Yes I know these news but I suppose that they are going to sign also at least for one OH and an other setter. I think that the connections problems with Orro are noticed by everyone. They tryed to sign Djkema for this season for a better option and they failed. Probably now they will try find someone good. Orro also needs to have some rest. She is one of the players who are playing all the time.

    There is a big possibility Alexia won't play for Galatasaray 👀


    If they retain Tashiro and welcome back Anthi Vasilantonaki, they will still have an opening for a foreign opp, as both MBs, Yasemin and Aycin, are local players. The problem is, who will be that foreign opp? And I'm wondering will they transfer a foreigner MB or a libero as well?

    From where did you get this impression?

    I guess its GS fans that doesn’t want Alexia. Anthi too actually. Bcz they have been tried before. They want GS to pay and buy-out Akimova’s contract. Bit delusional if you ask me 😬

    Also agree with Cofi there isnt any good OPP left in market. Even Vakıf had hard time to fill their OPP position.
    They should definitely get a foreign MB to support Yasemin-Ayçin duo.

    I dont know if they will go for a foreign libero tho.

    For Milano:


    Cazaute stay, Candi to Vallefoglia. Seems like Juliette Gelin (FRA) will be the libero :/

    Cazaute has been very underwhelming this season, but Milano needs defensive option at OH so it’s understandable as she can at least provode that somewhat consinstently.


    Vallefoglia will finally have solid team for next season.
    Kastner-Mingardi

    Degradi-?

    Weitzel-Candi

    ?


    They can go for foreign libero in this squad

    For OH option they might go for Uzelac or Tica, or some Russian OH, cause they work with SB community.

    Afaik they have very good budget, hope they can make competative team for next season.

    Alexia's transfer, depends on the relation between Vakıfbank and Galatasaray and also Vakıfbank's transfer strategy. If they sign with Kiara, then it would be a strong sign for this happening. Real Galatasaray fans love her and want her back.

    Even if this happens, I would keep Cuttino, so there would be a competition and strong backup for that position. So far, I did not hear any news about Cuttino's next season. Alexia plays well with her great intelligence but still needs some improvements. The good thing for her is that, she will take more time in the team with Hernandez..

    Hernandez is a good coach and he touched to all players including Cuttino, Logan, Bihter, Tashiro, Emine and even to İlkin. All improved a lot in specific areas. Definitely a strong 2nd libero is needed but if Bihter keeps on going with this improvement, she will not be the player to put aside.

    Lazovic contract is until the end of this season, so if she act as a good contributer to team at the rest of the season, maybe her contract will be renewed, else a room will be kept open for foreign OH. For MB, if they keep Emine, Ayçin-Yasemin-Emine trio would be good enough. No need to touch to setters, especially to Tashiro. She is really good at settings and especially in digs. Even she tries her best in blocks. Note that, Tashiro was the 1st setter of NT and Nanami Seki was her back up, the player who was interested by Imoco.

    So good foundation but still nothing is crystal clear for several positions and we can hardly wait for next developments.

    I'm still thinking about the Brenda to Scandicci transfer because it doesn't really make sense to me?


    My first thought was that they were going to have a local MB duo for the next season (Linda + someone else), but


    Danesi signed with Milano

    Chirichella signed with Conegliano, Fahr and Lubian renewed their contracts

    Squarcini (and Mazzaro?) signed with Novara, Bonifacio renewed her contract


    So like... who's left?


    Apparently Milano were also interested in renewing with Brenda and I don't think she would've picked Scandicci over them unless she had a guaranteed starting spot. So what exactly is the end game here? Villani-Herbots/Frantti OH duo? That'd be a mess.

    Cazaute stay =O=O=O=O. Really terrible choice. I hope that they can sign a really good choice for the OH. Players who I have in mind is Bergmann , Skinner, Voronkova, Anthi and Zhu. It would be much better if they had 2 ne OH instead of one. They have a problem in this position.

    News from Noavara

    Bonifacio, Fersino, Orthmann, Akimova, Bosio are staying.
    Squarcini, Aleksic, Ishikawa and Kadochkina are joining.

    As I said Bosio is staying. I do not think that they are going to sign with Brie King. I hope that Milano or Scandicci can sign with her. Kadochkina is a really big transfer for them. Well done Novara. Generally a really interesting and stronge team.

    Any news about THY? In Opp position losing KVR right now sounds not good given the options. Alexia would be great in THY because they could play fast system if Macris stays either.
