Celtic forward Sead Haksabanovic is at the centre of a battle between former sides Rubin Kazan and IFK Norrkoping over an unpaid transfer case set to be taken to FIFA.
The 23-year-old completed his transfer to the Scottish Premiership champions on deadline day after the Russian side reluctantly allowed their star man to become Ange Postecoglou 's eight summer signing – just 12 months after signing him for £5.5million from the Swedish minnows. The Montenegro international reportedly moved for a fee in the region of £2.6million, which has been flagged by Norrkoping chairman Sakarias Mardh.
Mardh has told Swedish outlet NT Sport that the Rubin have yet to pay £3.2million of the transfer fee to the club following Haksabanovic's move to the Russian Premier League last summer. The club chief states that the Allskenskan side are set to pursue legal action to recoup their transfer fee, while confessing he was perplexed how a sale to Celtic could be rubber stamped amid the outstanding monies.
