In essence, he is the point of contact between Hakan Calhanoglu and Bayern Munich. As is normal in the weeks of the transfer market, it was the agent Gordon Stipic-Wipfler who received the demonstrations of interest from the German club, reported them to his client and then understood the room for maneuver both on the Nerazzurri side – for the possible renewal with economic adjustment – than on the red and white one. While the Inter director is logically 100% committed to Euro 2024 with Turkey (tomorrow the qualification for the round of 16 is played against the Czech Republic), it was the agent who took care of off-field matters until the clarifying message on social network of the same player.

—
Stipic is a leading player in the football scene especially in Germany, given that his headquarters revolves around Karlsruhe and the portfolio mainly brings together German players or those linked in some way to the Bundesliga. Malick Thiaw, Alexis Saelemaekers, Maxence Lacroix and Matthias Ginter are among his clients and it is no coincidence that Calhanoglu played at Karlsruhe between 2009 and 2013. Stipic joined the Ismg (International Sport Management) agency in 2001 and in fact he hasn’t left it yet, although since 2021 he has been part of the Unique Sports Group once Ismg started a maxi-collaboration with Unique Sports Management, more focused on the Premier League.
side by side
—
Given the collaboration between Calhanoglu and Stipic, the two are linked by mutual respect and trust: it is with him that the Turk unsuccessfully negotiated the renewal of his contract with the Rossoneri, it is with him that the midfielder moved to Inter in 2021 on a free transfer – with the inevitable commissions – and it is with him that in the last period he evaluated the possibility of a return to Germany in the heart of Bayern Munich. In the middle, the negotiation for the contract renewal signed last summer until 2027 and the one instead only “proposed” in recent days and cordially sent back to the sender by Inter.
