Capital1 hoping to acquire Laure

MANILA, Philippines —If there’s a team on outgoing Chery Tiggo star Eya Laure’s wish list, it has to be Capital1 Solar.

Laure and the Solar Spikers management are currently in talks on how her transfer would be made possible in time for the Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference set to start Nov. 9.

“Bahala na management,” Capital1 coach Roger Gorayeb yesterday told The STAR when asked if Laure is moving to his team.

The STAR got wind of reports that Laure, who is hoping for a contract buyout with the Crossovers, is going to the Solar Spikers.

“She’s trying to go to Capital1,” said a source referring to the Alas Pilipinas standout and former PVL best outside spiker.

But getting Laure may entail difficulties, and Gorayeb himself knows it.

“May legal impediment,” he said.

Laure and Chery Tiggo have yet to issue an official statement.

Already out of Chery Tiggo are Eya’s elder sister EJ and libero Buding Duremdes.

If Capital1 couldn’t strike a deal with Laure, expect other clubs, including PLDT and Akari, to pounce on the opportunity.

Meanwhile, battle-scarred Jovelyn Gonzaga has joined the young guns of ZUS Coffee.
