Italy: two big names say goodbye to their clubs – Atanasijević and Leal

In the recent few days, farewells of the two big Europe’s volleyball stars to their italian clubs have prematurely awakened the summer transfer market.
After 8 years during which he won one Italian Championship, two Italian Cups, and three Super Cups, the Serbia National Team opposite Aleksandar Atanasijević will leave Sir Safety Conad Perugia. Until a few days ago, it was only a rumor, but now it’s official.
The other big name that announced leaving his club, even though indirectly, was Cuban-Brazilian Yoandy Leal.
“I find myself in a delicate moment in my career in which I have to face important decisions, which will have consequences. I know the value of myself and I’ll never allow anyone to give me less value than what I have!” the outside hitter of Cucine Lube Civitanova posted on his social media.
He has been a member of the SuperLega giants since 2018, winning the CEV Champions League, FIVB Club World Championship, and Italian Championship one time each, and Italian Cup two times.
