The Russian spiker born in 2004 and the Ligurian libero born in 2005 should be the two closest new faces. After that the company will complete the roster with the names that have been circulating for some time.
The team’s next signings should be two very young athletes Cuneo Granda Volley in view of the 2024-25 season to be played again in Serie A1. After the confirmation of captain Signorile, the return of Agnese Cecconello to the center and the arrivals of the free starter Sara Panetoni and the Serbian opposite Ana Bjelica, in fact the red and white club has seriously put itself in the crosshairs Anastasiia Kapralova and Rebecca Scialanca.
The first is one Russian spiker born in 2004who graduated under 18 world champion as a protagonist with her national team in 2021. Raised sportingly in Lokomotiv Moscow and then landed at Lokomotiv Kaliningrad last year he made his debut in Serie A1 wearing the Novara shirt, demonstrating character and shots of excellent promise on the few occasions in which he had the opportunity to be protagonist with the mosquitoes. In Cuneo she could occupy an absolute leading role and launch herself definitively, a bit like what happened a few years ago with her compatriot Sofya Kuznetsova. Similar speech also for Rebecca Scialanca, born in 2005 and originally from Sanremo, who has already worn the red and white shirt having spent the 2020-21 season in the Cuneo Academy. After that experience, the vintages in Busnago and Gorle arrived and then the big leap to A1 in Bergamo. Having little space available, however in January he decided to go and play in A2 in Cremona. Scialanca will have the chance to return to the A1 pitches acting as assistant to a young but already highly experienced player like Panetoni, from whom she will be able to learn a lot.
The Gatte roster should then be completed with the names that have been circulating for some time now: the Dutchman Tessa Polder from Pinerolo in the center, who will have the task of taking the Cuneo defense on his shoulders with his experience, the equally expert Swedish spiker Alexandra Lazic from Bisonte Firenzethe young one Fay Bakodimoua great promise of Greek volleyball always in the squad and the returner Alice Turco as vice-Senior after three years spent as a protagonist in A2 with the San Giovanni in Marignano shirt. At that point, four or five athletes would still be missing to be able to give the new coach Pintus a reliable team, especially in the central and opposing departments.
