The young Slovenian footballer mentioned interested clubs, and spoke in superlatives about Red Star, whose strongest asset could be in the group stage of the Champions League.
Crvena zvezda targeted a three and a half million striker for the Champions League. If they want to buy him, they will have to pay Maribor that much for the services of Žan Vipotnik (21), a young goalscorer who has already reached the senior team of his country. The football player himself, who made a statement about Zvezda’s interest, knows that there is interest and that the red and whites are ready for negotiations.
The young striker has received interest from Belgrade and it seems that the option of playing in the group stage of the Champions League next season seems very attractive to him at the moment. However, Zvezda is not the only one, and in previous months it was said that the club has no intention of letting him go without compensation of three and a half million, which would could “drive away” Dinamo from Zagrebthe first team from the region to smell the talent of the young Slovenian.
“It’s nice to hear that a club like this is interested in me. We know he will play in the Champions League next season. Crvena zvezda is a really big club, after all, it is a former champion of Europe. We will take all this into account and finally evaluate what would be best for my development and career“, said Vipotnik for the site “Nogomania.rs“.
By all accounts, the young Slovenian striker will be the main topic of the media in the region during the upcoming summer, but he would not want that to be the case. According to Žan Vipotnik, it would be best if the transfer was completed as soon as possible, so that he could focus on the field and continuing his career.
“I would like to resolve my status as soon as possible. I’m not impatient, I just want to know where I am. I know that there has been a lot of talk about clubs and transfers for some time, it’s nice that they are interested in you. I want to try in a stronger league, I think it’s normal for a player in my situation and at my age,” said Vipotnik and added: “I’m focused on what’s important. Other people worry about those things, my focus remains on the field.”
In the previous weeks, there was mostly talk about going to some of the Italian clubs that showed interest, although Dinamo Zagreb was also very clear. The Croatian champion would like to sign Vipotnik, but one can wonder if the price of three or three and a half million euros is a burden for them and for now they are not ready to offer that much money. “For me, the most important thing is to go to a club that wants me and sees something in me. It has to be a club that gives young players a chance. Of course, other things count, such as the city, the environment, the league. I know it will be more difficult abroad.Dinamo has changed its coach, Igor Bišćan, the former coach of the young Croatian national team, is now at the helm. Dinamo is a club that gives opportunities to young players. But it is still too early for distinction. Let’s wait a little longer” commented Jean. Watch him play:
