The setter market in the Italian SuperLega is experiencing interesting dynamics. Bulgarian fans are closely following the situation, as information emerged in early February that setter Moni Nikolov would move to a European team. Among the countries listed by his father were Italy, Poland, and Russia.
However, the latest movements in the transfer market in Serie A, according to the authoritative website volleyball.it, suggest that the Civitanova option is likely out. "Lube" has officially secured one of the best setters in the world –Simone Giannelli🏐, who is leaving Perugia and will lead the team's play in the 2025/26 season. This means that there might only be a place for Moni Nikolov with his brother Alex in Civitanova as a substitute for the captain of the Italian national team. However, this is unlikely to suit the Bulgarian talent, who will want more playing time to fully develop his abilities.
