It's clear people would do anything to be around Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
One man called the offices of Russian club FC Rostov this week and offered 170,000 rubles (close to €2,750, $2,900) to have his son serve as the Manchester United striker's mascot before the first leg of the clubs' Europa League round-of-16 tie on March 9.
Ivan Bodylevsky, who works for the club, shared the conversation on his Twitter account on Tuesday.
