The player and the club reached the agreement and the new contract will be made. Luongo has been playing for Brescia since 2011 (he won the 2016 LEN Euro Cup). In 2013, he became a member of Italy’s national team. Lungo won the gold medal at the 2019 World Championships, bronze at the 2016 Olympic Games and silver in the 2017 World League playing for the “Settebello”.
