Yesterday was Kristian Padar's last training session with Vero Volley Monza, learnedvolleyweek.bgfrom sources close to the club. This confirms the information fromvolleyball.it, that the Hungarian opposite is leaving for Turkey.
A little later today, another confirmation came from the volleynews.it website, located in Monza, according to which Vero Volley wanted to have Padar at least until the direct clash with Padua on February 14. But on Tuesday, there was a push from Genclik, who offered the player a contract for the 2026/27 season, but on the condition that Padar would also finish the current season with them - immediately, without waiting.

The reason for his immediate departure is also related to the timeframes of the Turkish transfer market for the current season, whose window closes before February 14, but not only. Padar likely insisted on finalizing the deal because, at the moment, it seems he has not received other offers for next year, despite a good season in the Superlega during his first experience in Italy.

In all likelihood, Monza will not immediately look for a replacement for the vacant spot and will continue the season with their second opposite, Diego Frascio. The option is also not excluded that if things don't go well, the team might switch to a system with three receivers, with Rørs also taking on opposite duties.

Head coach Massimo Eccheli also has another option - to test young national player Zhasmin Velichkov in this position, who initially played as an opposite in both national teams and Beroe's youth formations.

What Monza's final formation will be will become clear very soon, as the team has a crucial match against Padua on February 14.
