Off contract at the end of the season, the man widely regarded as the A-League's most lethal striker is understood to be weighing up his future.
Sources close to Berisha have revealed that the 28-year-old forward remains unsure of his next move, which could yet be a return to Europe to allow him and his young family to be closer to relatives.
His current focus is on recovering from a hamstring injury which will again sideline him when the Roar host Melbourne Heart at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.
However, from today rival clubs can formally ask the Roar for permission to speak with Berisha as he has entered the final six months of his two-year Brisbane deal.
And it is expected that Sydney will be among the clubs who approach the Roar.
With a further cleanout of players tipped for the besieged Sydney at the end of the season, Berisha is understood to be on their radar.
The Sky Blues coaching staff currently includes Rado Vidosic, the former Brisbane boss who discovered Berisha on a scouting trip to Germany in 2011.
Since signing with the Roar before the 2011-12 season, the former Hamburg, Horsens, Burnley, Rosenborg and Arminia Bielefeld marksman has scored 36 goals in just 58 A-League appearances.
The Sky Blues are also almost certain to be in a position to offer Berisha a potential deal outside the salary cap, something that the Roar are not as their foreign marquee player Thomas Broich is contracted to the club until the end of the 2016-17 season.
But for the Sydneysiders to do so, it would require a huge change in their marquee philosophy.
Their current permitted overseas marquee man — the soon-to-be 39-year-old Alessandro Del Piero — commands at least $2 million a year.
Previous Sydney foreign marquees Dwight Yorke and Juninho have also been big names on the international stage.

However, with Del Piero not expected to return to the A-League next season, the Sky Blues, who haven't scored in their past two matches, may look to reduce the amount of money they spend on players outside the cap.
But it would still be potentially more than the Roar could offer, with Brisbane having already delved into a non-football budget to lure prodigal son McKay back to the club on an Australian marquee player deal after a two-year stint overseas.
However, money won't be the only factor in Berisha's decision if he decides to remain in the A-League.
A huge fan of the Brisbane lifestyle, Berisha could yet to commit long-term to the Roar, who helped revive his career.
Brisbane Roar managing director Sean Dobson and coach Mike Mulvey were both unavailable for comment on Thursday.
