The SuperLega titleholders Sir Safety Conad Perugia successfully closed negotiations with Italy national team outside hitter Filippo “Pippo” Lanza who will replace Ivan Zaytsev in the lineup.

A 27-year-old player has established himself as the icon of Diatec Trentino since he has been wearing their jersey for the last seven seasons and three more in the youth team.

In 2017/18, Lanza was the best scorer of Trentino with 301 points in 26 league games.

A 2016 Rio Olympics silver medalist will form a starting outside hitter’s duo in Perugia with another big signing, the Cuban Wilfredo León, who will be presented to the public on June 9.
