Rana Verona announces the official arrival of Kellian Motta Paes, a French setter born in 2002, who joins the Verona roster for next season. Young, talented, and with extensive experience in France and Poland, Paes now faces the challenge of the SuperLega for the first time, where he will complete the setter position alongside Micah Christenson, one of the best players in the position.
Born in 2002, Kellian Motta Paes began his career at the Centre National du Volley-ball, a prestigious French volleyball training center. He subsequently played for Paris Volley, before moving abroad with PSG Stal Nysa in the Polish league. Upon returning to France, he played for Épinal Golbey Volley-Ball, before joining Cannes, where he played last season, confirming his potential.
Kellian Motta Paes’s first words: “I’m really excited to begin this new adventure with Rana Verona. This will be my first experience in Italy, a league I’ve always followed with great interest and which represents a benchmark for world volleyball. I’m thrilled to be able to grow in such an ambitious environment and to have the opportunity to work every day alongside Micah Christenson, one of the best setters in the world.”
