Chinese women s volleyball team Li Yingying is abroad to spread the good news. The powerful Serie A team is actively operating and aiming for the league championship.

With the start of the Italian Women’s Volleyball Super League in the 2025-2026 season, the competition is gradually intensifying. On October 29, the news released by Milan Sporting in Italy sparked heated discussions in the volleyball community: Serie A powerhouse Milan Women’s Volleyball Team is actively working on the joining of Chinese women’s volleyball attacker Li Yingying.

Not long ago, the Milan women's volleyball team defeated the traditional hegemon Conegliano women's volleyball team in the Super Cup, ending the opponent's years-long monopoly. It also allowed coach Lavarini and the management to see the possibility of the team going further. With the firepower of Paola Egonu and the current second-ranked offensive data in Serie A, the Milan women's volleyball team's goal this season is directly aimed at the Serie A championship.

However, the team also faces the challenge of personnel changes. Miriam Serra and Nika Daldrop, two strong players on the main offensive line, have successively transferred and left the team, joining Galatasaray and Conegliano respectively. In this context, strengthening the main offensive line has become the top priority of the management.

According to local news, Milan sports director Claudio Bonatti is currently running a heavyweight signing, and the target is Li Yingying, the current main force of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the star of the Tianjin women's volleyball team. The 25-year-old Li Yingying is a left-handed attacker with comprehensive skills and delicate techniques. In the 2024 Women's Volleyball Club World Cup, she represented the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team in a 3-0 victory over the Milan team. She scored 22 points in the game and left a deep impression on the Milan Women's Volleyball Team. It was this game that allowed Milan to completely "plant" the Chinese star.

According to the current specific progress, the two parties have not yet formally signed a contract, but even if everything goes smoothly, Li Yingying will have to wait until November 20 at the earliest before she can officially join the Milan Women's Volleyball Team. The reason is that she will represent the Tianjin team in the "15th National Games of the People's Republic of China" to be held in Macau from November 7th to 19th, which is one of the most important comprehensive events of the Chinese sports year.

In order to fill the vacancy in the main offensive line in the first half of the season, the Milan women's volleyball team has currently signed Dutch main attacker Celeste Plaque as a temporary substitute. However, Plak's joining was clearly a short-term plan. She also plans to switch to the Indonesian League in the near future for development. She has basically returned to health and the transfer procedure has entered the final stage.

At the same time, the recovery work of another attacker Vita Akimova is still in progress and is expected to return in the middle of the season. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, the introduction of a main attacker with stable output and international experience is an indispensable arrangement for the Milan women's volleyball team to pursue the championship.

If this transfer is completed, this will be Li Yingying's first official landing in the European League and the opportunity to directly enter the top giants. She will join the luxurious lineup of many Italian national players such as Egnou and Danesi, forming a world-class "firepower combined fleet."

Now this potential transfer has already whetted the appetite of football fans. One is the left-handed ace of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the other is the Milan women's volleyball team, the most ambitious in Serie A. If the transfer can come true, it will definitely become one of the most anticipated teams in the women's volleyball club in the 2025 season.
