The president of one of the two Turkish women’s volleyball giants said that hiring Paola Egonu is not an option at the moment.
The president of Fenerbahçe Opet was clear in regard to the rumors of hiring Italian superstar Egonu, saying the club is not in the situation to afford such an expensive transfer. However, the head of the other team whose name has also been firmly connected to signing the MVP of the last EuroVolley in the previous period, VakıfBank, was not so strict when it comes to denying the matter.
“The players we want to see wearing our jersey are currently here. Of course, we follow the market, yes, we follow it. We act as a team established by our head coach and on the strategy that follows. At the moment, we have no plans for such an engagement (of Egonu), but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t vigilant to see how the situation evolves. Of course, we’re paying attention,“ the VakıfBank president Abdi Serdar Üstünsalih said at the start of the ongoing FIVB Women’s Club World Championship.
