BVB star Svensson attracting interest from top clubs | OneFootball

He is the man with the most kilometers. No other Borussia Dortmund player has covered a greater distance in this Bundesliga season. Daniel Svensson (23) is not afraid to go the extra mile. Clubs from the English Premier League and the Italian Serie A have also taken notice.

In his 19 appearances this season, the full-back has run exactly 199.2 kilometers, according to bundesliga.com. His defensive teammate Waldemar Anton (29) is the second-best Dortmund player in this regard, with 190.1 kilometers to his name.

But it’s not just his stamina that makes the nine-time Swedish international interesting for other clubs. With his passing ability and offensive qualities, Svensson is the prototype of the modern wide player.

In February 2025, BVB initially brought the left-footer on loan from Danish top-flight club FC Nordsjaelland. “Daniel has fully met our expectations from day one,” praised sporting director Sebastian Kehl (45) in October 2025. By that time, Svensson had already signed a contract running until 2029.

“A consummate professional through and through”

According to the portal fussballdaten.de, clubs such as Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC, and Juventus Turin are closely monitoring Svensson’s development. The BVB pro seems to be especially highly regarded by the Reds. Reportedly, they are considering the Dortmund player as a long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson (31).

The Bundesliga club is said to be open to negotiations only for a fee starting at 40 million euros. Last summer, the Westphalians themselves paid just 6.5 million euros. That would be a hefty profit—should the offensive left-back actually be sold at the end of this season.

Above all, his coach would probably be very reluctant to do without Svensson’s services. Niko Kovač (54) has already praised the Swede as “a consummate professional through and through,” who is “very disciplined, very organized, and very structured in his mind.”
