Ana Karina Olaya is currently playing volleyball in Turkey


Flamengo continues to work on all fronts, both in football and in assembling the volleyball team for the season. As such, the red-and-black club is in negotiations to sign the Colombian athlete Ana Karina Olaya.

This is because Helena Wenk may leave Flamengo in the coming days. Therefore, the team led by Bernardinho has already made its move in the market and started talks to sign the 23-year-old Colombian Karina Olaya. The information comes from the profile “Info Vôlei Colômbia”.

Ana Karina Olaya is Colombian, but she has a history in European volleyball. The athlete played for CD Aves (POR) in 2021. Soon after, she moved to Porto (POR), before signing with Busto Arsizio (ITA). Finally, the outside hitter is currently at Aras Kargo (TUR).

WHAT DOES FLAMENGO NEED TO DO?

Before Flamengo can finalize the signing of Ana Karina Olaya, measures must be taken based on the regulations of the Women's Volleyball Superliga. This is because Mengão has to replace one of its foreign players: Simone Lee or Masa Kirov.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While Flamengo keeps an eye on reinforcements, the red-and-black squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges. Mengão will take the court on January 7, against Barueri, away from home, at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), for the Women's Volleyball Supercup.
