expires at the end of next season, this summer if they receive an offer that matches their valuation.
“Nothing has happened yet,” said Kvarme. “The transfer window in Norway is open until the end of the month.
“He has got one-and-a-half years left on his contract so, of course, it could be interesting for the club to sell to get some decent money. But they are still playing to get into the Champions League, so that may influence things as well.
“In general, it is always interesting for players to go to bigger leagues to play for bigger clubs. You just have to find the right moment. But if Rosenborg get into the Champions League that is interesting for Birger as well. We will have to wait and see what happens.”
Celtic have enjoyed great success with Scandinavian players in recent years with Kristoffer Ajer, Mikael Lustig and Stefan Johanssen all doing well at Parkhead.
Kvarme believes that Meling, the former Stabaek player who has been capped 10 times by Norway in the past two years, has many strengths as a player and could cope with a move overseas.
“I think he can play in a stronger league and at a stronger club,” he said. “He is a good attacking full-back, he can run all day, he has got decent crosses and good technique and he can defend. He is very aggressive as well.
“Moving abroad was definitely a good experience for me both professionally and personally. You grow as a person, but in your professional life it is always good to get new challenges as well.”
