Two of Josip Juranovic's former clubs are set for a FIFA tribunal over a development fee as Dubrava president Roko Ivanovic has slammed Hajduk Split for being "dishonest."
Celtic look set to cash in on Juranovic this month with Monza the latest side in the running while Torino, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have been named among potential suitors. It comes after the 27-year-old's stunning World Cup and the Hoops are believed to be open to offers having already signed a potential replacement in Alistair Johnston.
The imminent deal though has Dubrava, who brought Juranovic through his youth ranks before he moved onto Hajduk and later Legia Warsaw, jostling for their payout. President Ivanovic claims Hajduk are yet to pay out on an agreement made in 2015 when he joined the club and insists Dubrava are yet to see a penny.
They are demanding the FIFA development fee for his transfer, which amounts to 2.87 per cent of what Celtic eventually receives for him. Ivanovic said: "I gave Juranovic to Hajduk, but they are not honest. They didn't pay us a penny of what was agreed.
"I trusted their former president Marin Brbic at his word. We had an agreement, but later Ivan Kos replaced him and just said that he didn't know anything about it. They didn't pay us anything.
"We really don't know exactly how many Euros we should get when Josip Juranović leaves Celtic, but I know that under FIFA rules we are entitled to exactly 2.87 percent of player development transfers and we will make sure we get it. For me, Juranovic was the best right back at the World Cup. But back then I was the one who believed in him.
"We actually allowed him to go to Hajduk for free because they had no money, but we had an agreement about future transfer fees with the president. But we have never received a penny from Hajduk. It's my fault for trusting them. Because we didn't get a fee, we might not get the FIFA development fee, but we will take this all the way."
