Borussia Dortmund have made their interest in Benjamin Tahirović clear to Brøndby IF. The move is on hold for now, even though the midfielder remains on the shortlist.
Tahirović is 23 and already has 31 caps plus 131 first-team men's appearances. That profile, paired with a price reported at less than €10 million, puts him in a different bracket from the fee Brøndby IF paid in February 2025.
Benjamin Tahirović on Dortmund's list
Dortmund are searching for midfield reinforcements this summer, and Tahirović fits the defensive midfield position they are tracking. He has played club football for Brøndby IF since February 2025 after stints at Roma and Ajax.
His name has also drawn interest from Celtic. That leaves Brøndby IF with a player who arrived for roughly €2.75 million and now carries a reported valuation that could push well beyond that if clubs decide to move quickly.
Brøndby IF waits for the market
The pause changes the timing, not the link. Borussia Dortmund have shown their hand, but the pursuit has been stepped back for now, which gives Brøndby IF room to wait until after the ongoing World Cup before selling.
That delay also lines up with the wider market logic around a player who is still only 23 and has already built a senior record that includes 31 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina. If his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is still running, any move stays on hold until that ends.
For Dortmund, the question is simple: do they return once the tournament window closes, or do they move on to another target in the same role? For Tahirović, the current pause keeps his summer tied to value, timing, and whether Brøndby IF decides the right offer has arrived.
