Loreto will keep middleblocker Alessandro Paoli, who has just lived his first year in the A1. The 26-year-old scored 66 points in 48 sets, amongst which 18 blocks and 4 aces. He signed a two-year deal.

“I am extremely motivated to stay – said Alessandro – It would have been nice to play another year in the A1, but the A2 will give us another reason to work harder”.
