Transfer Rumors & Discussion (2025/2026)

    Quote from hakin12

    Engelholm volley, the team which raised Isabelle Haak in Sweden, has dissolved due to bankruptcy. Their roster this season included a promising MB, the 196 cm tall Maja Jonsson, born 2003, who henceforth is avaliable for next season. She has averaged in excess of 10 ppg this year and was one of the best blockers in the Swedish league. I would like to see her in a better league such as the German or French one in order to develop further.

    That's not correct. These news came up in February and it was all over the volley media and 2 days later, they got anonymous donators, ensuring like 5 years of donations to them, putting them back as candidates for championship, so they are staying in Elit series.


    I know Maja since she was a kid! Hoping that she goes abroad at some point and has the opportunity to improve further :super:

    Mehmet Cibara of GS announced a lot of things today in an interview.


    Things I remember so far:

    Naz, Grobelna, Lukasik are in GS. They are looking for 1-2 more OHs. Timmermann is also in the roaster but not sure about this.


    LYY is someone they wanted for a while but looks like she won't be able to play until December no matter where she is transferred. So they want to sign 1.5 years with her.


    Dangubic to Vakifbank. Yasemin Özel to Besiktas. Aslihan and Kalandadze to Aras Kargo and Sude to Göztepe. He was not sure about Bihter and Ceylan's next destination.


    He also criticised national team's manager Pelin who invited players to the NT chat in Whatsapp yesterday, right before the last matches where none of the GS's middles were invited as well as Ayca Aykac of Vakifbank (in Ayca's case, it might be that she is invited but she did not inform her, where she was criticised of demoralising her since she is also FB's manager).

    Thx for the information. Judged by the stats, she seems to have played fairly well in Engelholm this year. She is one of the best blockers in the league and is producing decent numbers in attack as well, still she isnt in the Swedish NT roster this summer, isnt it a bit strange? She was in the wide roster last summer, albeit with inferior numbers on paper in relation to this season.

    Weaker NTs such as Sweeden that have nothing to lose are better off playing anyone that has even a little potential to be decent starter in the future. You get nothing by playing average veterans.

    Carol/Anne are confirmed to be going to the USA (pretty sure it's LOVB and not PVF judging from what Brazilian pages have said about it).

    Turkish speakers: did Galatasaray's president say that this will be Carol's last season point blank or just her last season abroad? The translation is not clear.

    Even in Turkish it was not clear. But as I understood after LOVB, she will retire.

    Li Y got two offers from two Italian clubs. I’m 100% sure Milan is one of them.


    But report says Li Y can’t make this decision, club and government is deciding if She can leave Tianjin.


    How is that Zhu can leave China for so many years but She can’t ?!

    Ex. captain of Greek NT and Olympiakos Stella Christodoulou (S) to Panionios


    Panionios will take part in a tournament in Sardinia this September, along with Vero Milano, Vakifbank and Fenerbahce

    To be fair, despite the stats, she is pretty slow in her movements. She improved a lot, she was waaay slower before but still her technical capabilities and agility is difficult to fix. That might be the reason why she was never invited to the NT other than the wide roaster.


    Her stats also are not as meaningful, watched Linköping-Halmstad final match today and it looked slow motion with hitters doing the same thing over and over. It is simply too easy for anyone, even a very slow person to make a good block in a league like this when she is that tall. I hope Maja finds a way and works on her agility though.

    Where did panionios get the sponsor to build a good roster like that ? Are they playing in any European Cup next Season?

    It is said that a rich Greek family is their sponsor.


    Panionios is currently fighting for a challeenge cup spot against AEK. They’ve already won the first match , and the second one is tomorrow.
