On January 11, Beijing time, the main vice-attack of the Italian Conegliano women's volleyball club, Fri, revealed through social media that teammate Egnu will switch to the Turkish Waqifer Bank Club next season, which aroused strong concern among netizens.
In fact, the transfer news of Egnu and Waqif Bank and Fenerbahce two Turkish women's volleyball clubs has been around for some time. Although Conegliano has also been trying to persuade the team's top star to stay, the annual salary gap between the three clubs is still very obvious. Not long ago, Fri revealed that Egnu joined the Wakif Bank Women's Volleyball Club next season, which also ended the transfer storm. Fri is not only Egnu's teammate at the club, but also a teammate of the Italian women's national volleyball team, and the credibility of the transfer news confirmed by her should reach 99%.
There have been previous reports that Fenerbahce has thrown a sky-high contract of 6 million euros for 4 years to sign Egnu, but this news has been debunked by the team's management. According to italian and Turkish media news, the annual salary of the wakif bank women's volleyball club to Egnu is expected to reach 1.2 million euros, which is the highest salary in the women's volleyball world in the world today, but it also failed to reach the annual salary of 1.35 million euros when Zhu Ting renewed her contract with the team for the second time. Previously, some fans had expected that if Zhu Ting could return to the Wakif Bank Women's Volleyball Club after recovering from injury next season, and truly achieve the grand situation of "flying on both wings" with Egnu, it may create a new myth in the women's volleyball world. Unfortunately, with the recovery of injuries unclear and the epidemic not ending, Zhu Ting's prospects for "staying in the ocean" next season are not optimistic.
