Berkant Göktan (born 12 December 1980 in Munich) is a Turkish-German footballer.
He was considered one of the hottest prospects in Germany during the late 1990s.[1] Giovanni Trapattoni called him up to train with Bayern's senior squad when he was 16 years old, [2] while Ottmar Hitzfeld granted him his professional debut at age 17. He replaced Hasan Salihamidzic in a 1998-99 UEFA Champions League game against Manchester United with 30 minutes left when the score was 2-1 for Manchester. Bayern ended up tying the game.[3] In January 2005, he negotiated a loan deal to Borussia Mönchengladbach.[4] After playing four years in his "adoptive" Turkey, he is now displaying his best football in 2.Bundesliga's TSV 1860 München, since September 2006 and become a star of the team.
