The roster of Galatasaray Daikin starts to take shape ahead of the 2026/2027 season. Following a historic campaign marked by their CEV Cup title and a fifth-place finish in the Sultanlar Ligi, the club is building on its momentum. The management has cleverly opted for a balanced strategy, confirming the core stars who drove last year's European success while welcoming high-profile new faces to strengthen the ranks.

In the setting department, tactical stability remains the priority as the brilliant Dutch international Britt Bongaerts returns to orchestrate the offense, supported by the developing talent of Eylül Karadaş, who arrives from Zeren SPOR. 

The opposite position looks exceptionally formidable this year, combining the lethal scoring power of the confirmed Alexia Căruțașu with the explosive arrival of newcomer Vita Akimova from Vero Volley Milano, a duo destined to heavily challenge opposing blocks.

On the wings, the outside hitter spots offer a perfect mix of local pride and elite international experience. Club icon İlkin Aydın and Italian superstar Myriam Sylla will continue to lead the team's spirit and reception, while the young and energetic Ege Melisa Bükmen joins the rotation from Kuzeyboru to provide excellent depth.

At the net, the middle-blocker lineup stands tall as a true defensive wall, led by the towering presence of China’s Yuanyuan Wang alongside the reliable Yasemin Güveli and Janset Cemre Erkul, who makes her move from Zeren SPOR. 

Finally, the defensive foundation is fully secured with Gizem Çerağ Düzeltir arriving from Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyespor, alongside the massive addition of Ayça Aykaç from VakıfBank, an elite libero who brings invaluable championship experience having won absolutely everything with her former club.
