On Sweden's transfer deadline day, 31 August 2026, Kalmar FF had a bid accepted for Lirim Qamili. Sønderjyske attempted to persuade the 28-year-old North Macedonian and Danish winger to accept the move, but he had very little time to decide as the Swedish window closed at midnight. Ultimately, Qamili was not convinced and rejected the offer from Kalmar FF, a club attempting to remain in the Allsvenskan. This decision was reportedly not in line with the plans of Sønderjyske's management. The club has also tried to extend Qamili's contract, which expires after the current season, to prevent him from leaving for free. Previously, in the summer of 2025, a transfer to CSKA Sofia did not proceed after the Bulgarian club bid around five million kroner, as Sønderjyske wanted a higher price. Qamili has 14 caps and 2 goals for North Macedonia, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €750.0K.
