Russian volleyball player Vita Akimova, in addition to Novara, has received several offers from Turkish and Italian clubs, Ekaterina Fedorovtseva, general manager of the SB Community agency representing the interests of the athlete, told .
During the offseason, 20-year-old Akimova moved from Frenchman Volero Le Cannet to Italian Novara. Last season, the Russian volleyball player won the French championship and was recognized as the tournament’s most valuable player. In the 2022/23 Champions League, Akimova finished second with 204 points in 8 games, behind only Vakifbank’s Paola Egon (275 points in 13 games).
— How do you assess Vita’s progress and prospects at such a prestigious club in Europe? Were there many offers besides Novara?
— Vita is a very good player with great prospects, we really believe in her and are happy with how fast she is growing as a player. Yes, Vita has received many offers from Turkish clubs, as well as many clubs from the Italian league. But Vita chose Novara to pursue its development and we supported it in this process. I’m sure Vita will open up even more and develop their potential at the new club,” Fedorovtseva told .
Last season, Novara finished fourth in the Italian league and reached the Champions League semi-finals.
