Bordeaux isn’t shining this season. The club, once considered a favorite in Ligue 2, is far from making a breakthrough into the French elite. Nonetheless, in his debut season abroad, Žan Vipotnik has shown enough to attract the attention of foreign clubs.
French media reported days ago that Žan Vipotnik is on the radar of Turkish giants Galatasaray, who had been monitoring the Slovenian international since last season when he was still with Maribor. According to our information, the chances of a summer move south aren’t very high, as Bordeaux is reluctant to sell after just one season. Nevertheless, there are things happening behind the scenes, as confirmed by the player’s agent, Saša Župan.
Župan admitted that there is interest in Žan Vipotnik from Turkey, but Galatasaray is not the club that has reached out to him. “I can confirm your report – Galatasaray was indeed interested in Žan, but back when he played for Maribor. As for the current interest from Turkey, I can only say that one of the clubs from there did reach out. However, it’s not Galatasaray. Another club from Istanbul inquired about Žan. But for now, let’s leave it at that,” Saša Župan told Planet nogomet.
He didn’t want to disclose the club’s name, and guessing which Istanbul-based club it might be is quite challenging. Istanbul is home to eight top-flight clubs, including Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, where Miha Zajc plays, Beşiktaş, İstanbul Başakşehir, Fatih Karagümrük, İstanbulspor, Kasımpaşa, and Pendikspor.
