In a twist for volleyball fans, the much-anticipated transfer rumor of Italian star Paola Egonu back to VakifBank appears to be off, as reported by Serbian sports portal Meridian Sport.
Last week in Istanbul, Egonu’s agent met with VakifBank representatives andthe manager of Canadian player Kiera Van Ryk, to discuss a swap that would see Egonu in Istanbul and Van Ryk in Milan. However, sources reveal that some disagreements caused negotiations to stall.
With her VakifBank return on hold, Egonu is now expected to focus on finalizing a new contract with Vero Volley Milano. Despite a recent break due to sinus surgery, the Italian powerhouse is set to return to the court soon.
