There is talk of a long negotiation seasoned with hesitations, but in the end it went through: Paola Egonu said yes to the Vero Volley of Monza. So the champion that all Italians have come to know thanks to the co-conduction of an evening of the Sanremo festival, from next season will settle in Milan.
An operation of 800 thousand euros a year plus prizes and bonuses. After a year in Turkey, the blue opposite returns home. The official status is still missing, but press rumors give the agreement for signature.
Born and raised in Cittadella (in the province of Padua) by Nigerian parents, at 15 she was already a talent of Club Italia and at 18 she shone in a super winning Novara thanks to her and great "colleagues" like Francesca Piccinini. At the age of 20 he pushed Conegliano to the roof of the volleyball world and now the rumors of a possible divorce with the Turkish team are chasing. Egonu has a contract with Vakifbank expiring on 30 June 2023 with an option to renew to be exercised by 31 March. From Turkey, the specialized site voleybolmagazine.com had relaunched the news that the club coached by Giovanni Guidetti had already thought of changing player in that role.
On the eve of her participation in Sanremo, the volleyball player had already declared that she was ready to return to play in the national team. It was not obvious, given that after winning bronze with Italy at the World Cup in October 2022, he declared that he wanted to take a break. Too much pain for the words of those who asked her "Why are you Italian?".
