Melker Hallberg is not included in Shaun Maloney’s plans for Hibs and says that he could move back to Sweden
But he looks set to leave the club this month.
The 26-year-old, who has now recovered from the knee he sustained during the pre-season, was linked with St Johnstone earlier this month.
Now he claims that there are clubs in Sweden who are interested in taking him to the Allsvenskan and he says that he will listen to all the offers on the table.
“I’m not part of the new manager’s plans and I have to respect that,” he told Football Scotland. “We’ll see what happens now before the January window closes.
“When you are not included in the coach’s plans, it automatically means that you want to look elsewhere and that is probably my situation right now.
“For me, it’s about getting playing time considering the injury I’ve had. That’s the most important thing to me. To be able to show myself and what I can do as a football player again.
– There is interest elsewhere. I have no specific wishes, I just want to end up in a place where I can play. I have to play week in and week out to be able to show how good I am and it does not matter where.
“I listen to basically everything – even the Swedish Allsvenskan. You should never say never. You play football for a reason. ”
He added: “Once you have been sidelined, you just want to go out on the pitch and play again.
“The match against Cove was my first match in six months, and it was nice. I was a little nervous at first, but it was incredibly fun to be back on the pitch. It was a relief to know that everything was fine and working as it should. . “
Hallberg, who has three international caps for Sweden, was signed on a three-year contract by Paul Heckingbottom from Vejle Boldklub in the summer of 2018 after the Danish club was relegated from the top league.
He started his career in Kalmar FF before moving to Udinese in 2014.
