Aleksandar Mitrovic's Dad Allegedly Used Bomb Threat to Force Partizan Transfer

In a world with Peter Odemwingie, no transfer story should really surprise, though this one involving Newcastle United's Aleksandar Mitrovic comes very close.

The former captain of Serbian club Partizan Belgrade, Albert Nadj, claimed that Mitrovic's father went to extreme measures to force his son's transfer to Anderlecht in 2013, per Goal.com.

Nadj, who until recently worked as a transfer coordinator for Partizan, claimed Mitrovic's father threatened to bomb the club if they didn't approve the move to Belgium.

Mitrovic came through Partizan's youth ranks and re-joined the team in 2012 after spending his first professional season at Teleoptik.
