Borussia Dortmund's Daniel Svensson may join English top clubs. Reports suggest that both Liverpool and Arsenal are interested in the 24-year-old Swedish player. Svensson is a key part of the left defense of the BVB and has proven himself as a solid player in the season so far.
What's happening?
According to a report from CaughtOffside, both Liverpool and Arsenal have taken an interest in the 24-year-old Swedish player. At both clubs, he is being considered as a potential candidate for the left defensive position. His versatility is what makes Svensson attractive to the English top clubs. The portal reports: „The rivals from the Premier League are interested in a young player who has more to offer than the qualities of a classic outside defender. His ability to push forward into the midfield makes him attractive to possession-oriented teams.“
Why it matters for Borussia Dortmund
The BVB is in a comfortable negotiating position. Svensson is still under contract with the Schwarz-Gelben until 2029 and does not have a buyout clause. As a result, there is no pressure on the Dortmunders to sell. According to information from Bild, the Bundesliga club would only be willing to talk about a transfer if the transfer fee is at least 30 million euros. Whether the Dortmunders would even consider selling Svensson is unclear.
What comes next?
Svensson has quickly become a solid player on the left side. Although the club has an experienced alternative in Ramy Bensebaini, his potential backup Kaua Prates is currently struggling with an injury and is still in the process of getting accustomed to the German league. Svensson transferred from FC Nordsjælland to the Ruhr region in 2025. Since then, he has played 66 league games for Borussia, scoring six goals and creating six more. The BVB is currently second in the Bundesliga, has not yet scored any points in the season, and will face Werder Bremen in the next match. Nico Schlotterbeck is currently injured and unable to play for the BVB.
