Liverpool Eyes £35m Left-Back Deal for Daniel Svensson

City, February 15: Liverpool faces uncertainty in the left-back position as they look to strengthen their squad. Andy Robertson, who has been a mainstay since his transfer from Hull City for £8 million in 2017, has struggled with form during the 2024/25 Premier League title-winning season. The 31-year-old has made uncharacteristic errors, prompting the club to prioritize the left-back position in the last summer transfer window.

Milos Kerkez was brought in for £40 million from Bournemouth, pushing Robertson to a bench role. With Robertson’s contract expiring in summer 2026, a departure seems likely, potentially leaving a gap in the squad. Although linked with a January move to Tottenham, Robertson remained at Liverpool as the club could not recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan at Roma.

Tsimikas, too, faces uncertainty, returning to Anfield with just a year left on his contract. With both players potentially leaving, Liverpool is now in the market for a new left-back.

Ian Doyle from the Liverpool Echo noted, “If Andy Robertson doesn’t sign a new deal and Kostas Tsimikas opts to pursue an exit, that leaves Liverpool in need of a left-back.”

One name that has surfaced is Daniel Svensson, a 24-year-old who has impressed since joining Borussia Dortmund from Nordsjælland on loan in winter 2024. After signing a permanent deal last summer until 2029, reports indicate that Dortmund may allow a move for Svensson worth up to £35 million, with the Premier League being his preferred destination.
