Sead Haksabanovic to Celtic transfer poser swerved as Rubin Kazan chief comes out swinging amid FIFA complaint

Rubin Kazan sports director Rustem Saimanov has refused to address a complaint from Swedish side Norrkoping over the sale of Sead Haksabanovic.

The 23-year-old completed his transfer to the Scottish Premiership champions on deadline day from the Russian side - just 12 months after Rubin signed the Montenegro international for £5.5million from the Swedish minnows. Haksabanovic reportedly moved for a fee in the region of £2.6million, which has been included as part of a complaint made to FIFA by Norrkoping chairman Sakarias Mardh.

Mardh has claimed 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. He has publicly stated that there are no questions marks over the forward's status as a Celtic player, but confessed he was unsure how the club could sell Haksabanovic without paying the full fee to the club.
