Conrad Harder had help from Hasan Çetinkaya, Viktor Gyokeres’ agent who made life difficult for Frederico Varandas, to leave Sporting.

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

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 refusals over the summer: Rennes, Milan, and Chelsea. The Leipzig project was chosen by the now former number 9 of Sporting, who could leave, with objectives included, 30 million euros at Alvalade.

Frederico Varandas, for his part, is proud not to have paid any kind of fee to the agent. “The SAD is proud to have made 90 million euros without paying 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 in a Leipzig shirt, provoking Frederico Varandas in the post’s description. However, he ended up changing the caption due to the many criticisms.
