For now, Tahirovic’s situation appears to be driven by speculation rather than negotiation. Celtic are understood to be monitoring the former Roma and Ajax midfielder, while Dortmund have also been mentioned as a possible destination.
That distinction matters. Brondby’s position leaves the door open, but it also puts the responsibility on interested clubs to make the first concrete move.
The club is expected to speak with Tahirovic and his representative after the player returns from an extended rest period. The report says he will use the summer to consider whether to remain with a strong Brondby side or pursue a new challenge.
A potential transfer appears to depend on three factors:
That framework gives the Danish club leverage, particularly after strengthening its midfield with the arrival of Max Ejdum from Odense. The addition reportedly provides greater security in the number-eight role, reducing the pressure to sell immediately.
Tahirovic’s background remains attractive to clubs seeking a midfielder with experience beyond domestic football. Yet Brondby’s cautious stance indicates that reputation alone will not trigger negotiations.
The next key moment will come when Tahirovic returns and holds those discussions with the club. If Celtic or Dortmund are serious, reported interest will need to become direct contact - and eventually an offer capable of changing Brondby’s position.
