“It’s fun” – BVB star reacts to transfer rumours | OneFootball

A Borussia Dortmund star has put an end to the transfer rumors surrounding him. His future had repeatedly been called into question recently.

Daniel Svensson has spoken about the transfer rumors surrounding him. In an interview with “SVT Sport,” the Swedish international admitted that he had heard about the speculation, but at the same time made it clear that there was nothing to the idea of a club switch: “I saw something about it. But I haven’t heard anything more about it.”

When explicitly asked whether a transfer had ever been within touching distance for him, Daniel Svensson gave a firm denial: “No. Not at all, honestly.” Still, the public interest in him did not leave him completely untouched: “Of course, it can be fun to read.” But beyond what was written in the newspapers, he himself had not heard anything at any point. He concluded by reaffirming his bond with BVB: “I feel comfortable in Dortmund and I’m looking forward to continuing my path there.”

English media had recently linked Daniel Svensson with both Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC. At Borussia Dortmund, the Swede is still under contract until 2029, which in any case makes a short-term move seem unlikely.

Daniel Svensson an undisputed regular at BVB

Just how important Daniel Svensson has become for BVB is clear from a look at his playing time. So far this Bundesliga season, the defender has not missed a single minute and is therefore one of head coach Niko Kovač’s absolute first-choice players. His presence was also hard to top last season: out of a possible 4,050 minutes, Daniel Svensson was on the pitch for a total of 3,462 minutes, which corresponds to a rate of over 85 percent. In addition, he has made 73 competitive appearances since his move in February 2025, recording seven goals and seven assists.

Able to play both at left-back and on the left side of midfield, the Swede gives BVB additional tactical options and has long since established himself as an undisputed regular. In light of this development, Borussia Dortmund is also unlikely to have any interest in letting the Swede go early. That is especially likely to remain the case in January if one of the clubs comes knocking again for the Scandinavian.
