The Italian and European transfer market continues to move with high intensity, and the latest information outlines several important lines that directly affect the balance of power next season.
Perugia secures Belgian outside hitter
According toLa Gazzetta dello Sportthe Belgian outside hitter will wear the Perugia jersey next season. This definitively rules out transfer options to Turkey and Modena, which were among the discussed possibilities until the last minute.
According to the source, the parties have reached a preliminary agreement and have negotiated the terms of the personal contract. For Reggers' transfer, Perugia will have to pay Milano a compensation of 200 thousand euros for the last year of his contract. The owner of the Umbrian club, Gino Sirci, is willing to incur such expenses for the best scorer in the Italian league. The future of Perugia's current opposite hitter, Wassim Ben Tara, is still uncertain. The future of the two outside hitters
– Yuki Ishikawa and Oleh Plotnytskyi
– is also in question. Setter Simone Giannelli and outside hitter Kamil Semeniuk will certainly remain with Perugia. Perugia finished the first half of the Italian championship in third place, while Milano finished seventh.
The move is indicative of Perugia's strategy – seeking stability in reception and high attacking efficiency from Zone 4. The club continues to build upon a model that has already brought significant results both domestically and in European competitions.
The middle blocker position remains an open question
At the same time, the management is closely monitoring the situation around Roberto Russo. Should he leave, Sanguinetti from Modena emerges as a primary target for the middle blocker position.
Polish Line: Skra Bełchatów and Ben Tara
Parallel to the Italian movements, there is increasingly persistent talk that opposite hitter Ben Tara may continue his career at Skra Bełchatów. The Polish powerhouse is looking for a clear scorer around whom to build its attack, and Ben Tara's profile fully meets these requirements. Wassim Ben Tara has a contract with Perugia until the end of the 2026/27 season.
Although the information is currently at the rumor stage, contacts between the two sides are considered realistic, and a potential transfer would be a serious signal of Skra's ambitions to return among the leading forces in Europe.
Perugia is closing one of its key positions with the Belgian outside hitter and preparing a backup plan for the middle blocker position, while north of the Alps, Skra Bełchatów is preparing for a possible coup with the acquisition of Ben Tara. A transfer summer is shaping up where strategic decisions will be no less important than the names that will appear in the rosters.
