Big names make big moves across Europe – Part 2
- Updated: August 25, 2016
ehfCL.com presents the second part of this season’s top transfers in the VELUX EHF Champions League, following the revelation of places 20 to 11 on 24 August in part 1.
The rotation of left wings between clubs make a big impression on the ranking with the first piece containing Valero Rivera jun. (from Nantes to Barcelona) and Dominik Klein (from Kiel to Nantes).
In the opinion of the EHF journalists, who created this ranking, two further left wings make the top 10, including German Olympic bronze medallist and all-star team member Uwe Gensheimer, who made the first transfer in his life to join Paris Saint-Germain.
Like the French champions, all remaining participants of the 2016 edition of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 (Kielce, Veszprem and Kiel) have had a part to play in the top ten transfers of this year.

Before his four years in Poland, Cupic had played for Rhein-Neckar Löwen and Slovenian side Velenje.
8. Filip Ivic – KS Vive Tauron Kielce

There, he follows in the footsteps of fellow Croat keeper Marin Sego and is expected to share time between the posts with Slawomir Szmal.
Ivic won World Championship bronze with Croatia in 2013, but was not chosen for Rio 2016.
