Benjamin Tahirovic

Benjamin Tahirovic of Brondby was born in Spånga, Sweden on 3 March 2003 (age 23).

Benjamin Tahirovic, born on 3 March 2003 (age 23), is a Bosnia and Herzegovina international defensive midfielder at Brondby. At a commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he brings obvious size to the middle of the pitch, though his career is still at the stage where regular football matters more than tidy labels.

His most productive league season so far came at Ajax in 2023-24, when he made 26 appearances and scored twice. That was enough to mark him out as a young midfielder with a proper senior platform, rather than just another name passing through a big academy system.

At Brondby in 2025-26, Tahirovic has remained a regular first-team presence. He has made 25 Superliga appearances, scoring once, and has also played six times in Conference League qualifying. Across all competitions for Brondby, that leaves him on 31 appearances and one goal for the season.

He has also been involved internationally, making 10 European World Cup qualifying appearances for Bosnia-Herzegovina this season and scoring once. His market value is around £4m, according to Transfermarkt.

Tahirovic was linked with a move to Celtic in February 2026 and again in May while at Brondby. For now, his career is that of a developing international midfielder getting regular club football in Denmark after his spell at Ajax.

Tahirovic was a regular part of Brondby's midfield rotation rather than a locked-in starter: 25 Superliga appearances split between 13 starts and 12 substitute outings. One league goal and five yellow cards pointed to a functional defensive-midfield role, with more value in minutes, structure and ball-winning than end product.

The trajectory has been upward in profile: Vasalunds IF to Roma, then Ajax, then Brondby at 23. The Roma-to-Ajax move was the high-water mark by fee, while Brondby looked like a reset into a level where he could play more regularly. His international involvement – 10 WC qualifying appearances and one goal – kept the profile stronger than the raw club-goal output.

Tahirovic's moves show a clear rise followed by a correction. Roma paid €200,000 to take him from Vasalunds IF in 2021, Ajax then spent €6.5m in 2023, and Brondby paid €2.3m in February 2025. That drop in fee suggests Ajax did not see the expected return, but the Brondby move still left him operating at a solid European level with a €4.50m market value.
