Rumours surface about Cuban Robertlandy Simon’s transfer to Italian league
There has been a rumour roaming around that 24-year old Cuban middle-blocker, Robertlandy Simon, has plans to sign a new contract with Italian club Casa Modena.
Although the news has neither been confirmed by Italian club nor by the player himself but there is a strong probability that negotiations are in progress. Formerly, Simon has a contract with Cuban Volleyball Federation to provide his services to the national
team. However, if the rumour turns out to be true he would need an approval from Cuban Volleyball Federation.
The rumour could be true as one of the regular players of the Casa Modena, Bjelica, is injured these days. He used to play at middle-blocker’s position, while Simon plays against the same position. Since Bjelica is staying off the court, there is a chance
of Simon’s transfer to Casa Modena.
Casa Modena is one of the renowned volleyball clubs in Italy, which is based in Modena City. The team has strong presence in the Italian National League. They always have tough competition with Trentino Volley, which is the top men’s volleyball team in Italy.
They are not only popular at the national level but are known worldwide.
The club is currently playing at the Italian League Series A 2011. So far, the team has balanced win/loss ratio. They appeared in a total of 11 matches and pulled off success in five. Hence, they currently stand with a record of 5-6.
The thrilling action of Italian Volleyball League is scheduled to resume on January 5, 2012 and it will be continued till March 1st. Casa Modena will play 16 matches in the next leg of tournament. They have the chance to improve on their overall record.
For this they are in need of a stronger set of players, who can lead Casa Modena to success. Bjelica is one of the prominent players of Casa Modena and if he is not fit to play, the team definitely needs an immediate replacement.
That is why, the air is full of rumours that Cuban Simon in likely to replace Bjelica in the near future.
