Bartosz Kurek, one of not many Men’s volleyball players whose name is pronounced with high respect around the world, has officially tied himself to Ziraat Bankası Ankara.
The transfer of a Polish superstar from a club in his homeland PGE Skra Bełchatów to the Turkish side was a true bomb and now, Ziraat fans can hope their club will fight to win the first-ever title in the national championship.
„The President and the Sports Director have welcomed me very warmly and I think we will do important things together with the team here. I also hope that the transfer will be good both for me and the club,“ Kurek said at a press conference upon putting his signature on a contract with Ziraat.
Thus, „Bartek“ became one of the 10 highest paid professional volleyball players in the world! Only one more things will have to be cleared regarding his playing in Ziraat – on which position will he perform? Recall that at the upcoming 2017 CEV European Championship he will not return to the opposite position.
