Tommaso Totolo, a coach from Isola della Scala and currently an assistant coach in Saint Petersburg, in an interview with Marco Ballini from "Arena di Verona", confirmed that the American setter Micah Christenson, who currently plays for Zenit Kazan, will wear the Rana Verona jersey next season. Radoslav Stoychev is the head coach there. This was reported by the authoritative website volleyball.it. "It's already an open secret. The agreement was reached a long time ago," says Totolo, who knows Christenson well from their time together in Kazan. About Abaev, he says: "If he returns to Russia, Kazan could be a possible destination. For now, however, everything depends on the transfer market. Like many foreigners in their first season in the Superleague, Abaev needs time to adapt to the championship and the coach's demands." Regarding the possibility of acquiring Dmitry Volkov: "I know he wants to gain experience abroad. Together with Christenson, they would form an incredible pair, but the transfer price for both is very high. If Keita, who many teams are interested in, also stays, Verona could really contend for the title. To win, you need top players.
