Liverpool are eyeing up a deal for a Bundesliga star who has got a “dream” to move to the Premier League.
The Reds spent £450m in last summer’s transfer window - but there are indications that sporting director is planning to splash out once again at the end of the season.
We could see big changes for the Premier League champions all over the pitch - and left-back is once again an area in line for changes.
Milos Kerkez was brought in for £40m last summer and has since displaced long-term first-choice Andy Robertson. Robbo, meanwhile, is out of contract in summer 2026 when his £160k per week deal expires.
Liverpool do have the option of bringing back Kostas Tsimikas from his Roma loan and using him as Kerkez’s deputy - but more likely is that the Greek international departs with one year left on his deal.
And while the Reds have got young players like Owen Beck and Luke Chambers waiting in the wings the likelihood is that they move for a senior player instead.
Liverpool named in chase for Daniel Svensson
Now one name is looming into focus in the shape of Dortmund’s Daniel Svensson - who has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last year or so.
Svensson, 23, joined the Yellow and Blacks from Nordsjælland for the second half of the 2024/25 season - initially on loan. The nine-cap Sweden international completed a permanent deal last summer - inking a contract until 2029.
But Dortmund are always open for business - and Fussballdaten suggests that talks could begin at around £30m to £35m for a summer deal for Svensson.
Svensson can also play in midfield
The report names Arsenal and Inter as potential rivals for Svensson - who has got two goals in seven Champions League games this season.
Reds recruiters are said to be blown away by Svensson’s physicality and pressing abilities - qualities very much valued by decision-makers at Anfield.
And not only could he provide cover and competition for Kerkez Svensson can also play in a range of other positions.
Although he usually plays wide of a midfield four - behind a back three - at club level he has also played for his country as an orthodox left-back as well as a centre midfield.
Svensson could be just the kind of problem sover required at Anfield as Arne Slot juggles with the demands of competing on multiple fronts.
