Žan Vipotnik to Celje is merely a hopeful wish of the Slovenian champion: the forward is wanted by “half of Europe,” with Sunderland also in the mix

Social media is a “miracle.” After it became clear that Žan Vipotnik would soon be free to leave Bordeaux due to their collapse, comments flooded the X network about where the young Slovenian international could continue his career. From Sweden to Turkey – “you name it,” if we can put it that way. Among them was even Celje. That Celje, which once dreamed of Luka Modrić, Olivier Giroud, and others. And that Celje, which still dreams impossible dreams. For Žan Vipotnik to strengthen Celje is impossible. These are merely the hopeful wishes of the Slovenian champion.
If Žan Vipotnik were to decide to return home, which he would not, he would choose Maribor. After all, his agent Saša Župan recently told our website: “As far as Slovenia is concerned, Žan Vipotnik will, of course, never forget where he came from and who he played for. If the moment ever came for him to return home, he would certainly return to Maribor.” Celje has, it must be admitted, indeed made contact with the player or his agent, but the answer is crystal clear. No. Definitely not.
Žan Vipotnik currently has no reason to even consider returning to Slovenia. The interest in him is indeed as immense as the number of posts on the X network: enormous. Many clubs genuinely want him. One of these clubs is Sunderland, which was already courting him when he was still under contract with Bordeaux. The English side, which competes in the Championship League, was ready to pay a transfer fee for him, and now that he is a free agent, they are – clearly – even more interested.
Whether he will go to Sunderland or not is too early to say. But Žan Vipotnik will definitely not go to Celje. Anyone claiming otherwise is spreading information that is simply not true.
