As preparing for the new season of the Turkish Women's Volleyball Super League, on June 29, it was reported that Galatasaray women's volleyball team, which had negotiated many times to join the team with Li Yingying of the Chinese women's volleyball team, had completed a major signing: the main attacker of the Italian national team and Olympic champion Myriam Sylla officially joined the team and signed a two-year contract.

Serra, 30, is 1.84 meters tall, has a spike height of 3.2 meters and a block height of 3.02 meters. She is a typical high-explosion attacker. She is not only the main force of the Italian women's volleyball team, but also an important member of the 2024 Olympic champion lineup of Paris. In international competitions, she has faced the Turkey team many times and helped Italy win key victory.

In the new season, the main attacking line of the Galatasaray women's volleyball team will be composed of Turkish local star Elkin Aiden and Italian veteran Sierra to form a partner with both experience and vitality. In addition, the team also includes American Ali Franti and Polish national player Martina Lukasik, with sufficient main attack reserves.

It is worth mentioning that Lukasik was originally one of the players the Milan women's volleyball team hoped to exchange with Sierra, but in the end it failed to make a move. Instead, he "gathered" at Galatasaray. It can be seen that Galatasaray's investment in the main attacking line is comprehensive and decisive.

According to the disclosure, Sierra's departure from the Milan women's volleyball team this time was not simply due to the deterioration of her relationship with coach Stefano Lavarini. It is reported that Sierra had conflicts with her coaching staff in the Serie A final and the Champions League semi-finals. Even though she had communicated privately, she still failed to return to the main lineup, which became an important fuse for her decision to leave.

The salary and benefits of Galatasaray in this transfer are comparable to that of his national teammate and setter Alessia Oro, who has now transferred to Fenerbahce. The latter has an annual salary of 600,000 euros (5 million yuan). Sila has obviously also obtained an attractive contract. This transfer not only strengthens Galatasaray's main attack line, but is also interpreted by the outside world as a strategic signing for the club to move towards higher goals.

In addition to Sierra, Galatasaray women's volleyball team also signed Belgian strong supporter Kaya Groberna this summer. The 30-year-old supporter played in the Japanese league last season. He played tough and experienced. The club signed a one-year contract with her, injecting strong firepower into the offensive line. At the same time, Galatasaray women's volleyball team also retains the "golden setter" of the Turkish women's volleyball team, Naz Aidenmire Akjor, and the new season is intended to create a "luxury lineup" that strives for the championship.

Before signing, Galatasaray also hoped to sign Li Yingying. With the confirmation of the main attack line, Fenerbahce women's volleyball team is currently in talks with Li Yingying and is expected to sign a contract.
