Just four days after scoring a goal against Italy to help the Bosnian and Herzegovinian national football team secure a triumph over Italy, Tabaković started the Bundesliga match against Heidenheim on the bench. The match ended with a 2:2 scoreline, and the Bosnian striker only got his chance in the 70th minute. "That was the coach's decision," the 31-year-old briefly stated. Although he is Gladbach's top scorer with 11 goals in the absence of the injured Tim Kleindienst, Tabaković is only on loan at the club from Hoffenheim without a buy option. "There are no negotiations," he surprisingly revealed after the match but emphasized that he remains calm. "I still have a year left on my contract with Hoffenheim. If there are no talks, I have no reason to worry. I am focused on performing as best as I can until the end of the season." Recall that Tabaković was the hero of the match against Italy, scoring the crucial goal that sent the game into a penalty shootout, where the Dragons triumphed. "It was a very long night. When you experience something like that, you have to celebrate. This is the highlight of my career so far," the striker admitted. Against Heidenheim, he didn't have much reason to celebrate, but his entry brought energy to the team. After coming on when the score was 2:1 for the visitors, Gladbach increased the pressure, and Franck Honorat soon scored for the final 2:2. Borussia Mönchengladbach's sports director, Rouven Schröder, is aware of Tabaković's qualities as well as the market situation. "Haris has scored 11 goals, is under contract with Hoffenheim, and is going to the World Cup. Everyone is looking for strikers." For now, the club's priority remains staying in the league, and the future of the Bosnian goal scorer, though uncertain, remains open.
