According to Voetbalnieuws.be, which cites Serbian media, Partizan Belgrade is interested in acquiring Stefan Mitrovic. The central defender is considered surplus to requirements at AA Gent, where he has not been getting playing time. Partizan Belgrade hopes to take Mitrovic for free this month. The 35-year-old defender's contract ends in the summer and he is not part of the future plans at the Buffalos, who are keen to offload his significant contract.

Gent defender Stefan Mitrović has not been included in the squad for the Belgian club's training camp, and with his contract expiring in the summer, a departure is expected. Partizan intends to act on this situation, having previously failed in attempts to sign Stefan Savić and Matija Nastasić last summer. Signing Mitrović would provide their defense with a desired mix of youth and experience, a position that has become a priority for the winter transfer window following injuries to other players.
