Italian Gas Sales Bluenergy Piacenza has officially parted ways with Turkish national player Ramazan Efe Mandıracı. The club published a message of gratitude to the outside hitter, and the player himself emotionally bid farewell to the team and fans after his two seasons in Italy.

During my stay in Piacenza, I not only collected wonderful memories but also an achievement I will be proud of my entire life. Together, we wrote a page in the club's history by winning the CEV Cup for the first time. This moment and the privilege of being part of this family will always hold a special place in my heart," Mandıracı wrote on his social media profiles.

The 24-year-old outside hitter was one of the key figures in Piacenza's squad and helped the team win the first European trophy in the club's history – the CEV Cup.
Although neither Piacenza nor the player himself have revealed where his career will continue, Italian and Turkish media agree that his next club will be Galatasaray. According to reports, the Turkish powerhouse has offered the national player a two-year contract worth approximately 2.5 million euros in total, making the deal one of the most impressive on the volleyball transfer market this summer.
Mandıracı had an active contract with Piacenza until 2028, but according to reports in Italy, the club's management was forced to part ways with one of its most valuable players after receiving significant compensation for the transfer.
As of now, Galatasaray has not yet officially announced the signing of the Turkish national player. There is no transfer announcement on the club's website or official profiles, which is why the only officially confirmed development so far remains the separation between Mandıracı and Piacenza. Expectations are that his new club will be officially announced in the coming days.
