Hasan Çetinkaya, Viktor Gyokeres’ agent who did everything possible to hinder Sporting during the striker’s transfer, teamed up with Conrad Harder. The Swede joined forces with Ibrahim Tasci, the Dane’s agent, during the process of moving to Leipzig, but Frederico Varandas did not yield.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the partnership between Çetinkaya and Tasci had already been ongoing for a few weeks, but everything was done to keep the agreement secret. Only when Conrad Harder was officially announced at Leipzig was the pact made public.

The same source guarantees that Çetinkaya was responsible for Harder’s several rejections in the summer: Rennes, Milan, and Chelsea. The Leipzig project was chosen by Sporting’s now former number 9, who could leave, with objectives included, 30 million euros at Alvalade.

Frederico Varandas, for his part, is proud of not having paid any kind of fee to the agent. “The SAD is proud to have earned 90 million euros without having paid a single cent in commission to Çetinkaya,” writes the sports daily.

After the official announcement, Jonathan Chalkias, Hasan Çetinkaya’s right-hand man, shared a photo of Conrad Harder wearing the Leipzig shirt, provoking Frederico Varandas in the caption of the post. However, he ended up changing the caption due to the many criticisms.
