As we already wrote, Tours parted ways with German middle blocker Philip Collin who returned to his homeland. It did not take much for reigning CEV Cup champions to find his replacement.

As „L’Équipe“ reported, Tours agreed terms with Dutch Jasper Diefenbach from French Championship (Ligue A Masculine) rivals Nantes Rezé Métropole Volley. Diefenbach is one of the highlights in French league this season, becoming the best scorer in his position.

Tours also formalized the one-year contract extensions with Italian coach Giampaolo Medei and Canadian receiver Ryley Barnes.
