Liverpool are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund defender Daniel Svensson as a replacement for Andy Robertson, according to reports in Germany.
The Anfield side have reportedly identified the Sweden international as one of their top targets to rejuvenate their defence and provide competition for Milos Kerkez at left-back.
Arsenal and Leeds United are also believed to be interested in Svensson, who is under contract with Dortmund until June 2029.
The 24-year-old defender joined the Bundesliga giants from Danish side Nordsjaelland on an initial loan in February 2025, before seeing his move made permanent the following summer.

According to German publication Fussballdaten, although Dortmund are hopeful of retaining Svensson following his impressive first full season, the German side do not consider the Swede ‘untouchable’.
Dortmund are reportedly open to selling the ‘sensational’ 24-year-old for a fee of €35m and expect a bidding war to increase the price to around €45m.
With Svensson under contract until the summer of 2029, Dortmund are in a strong negotiating position, especially as the defender’s deal does not contain a release clause.
The most serious interest in the Swede is believed to be coming from the Premier League, with Liverpool firmly among his admirers at the moment.
Serie A trio Inter Milan, AC Milan and Atalanta are also keeping close tabs on Svensson’s situation, with Inter showing the strongest interest at the moment.
Svensson, who is also capable of playing in left midfield, has made 64 appearances for Dortmund since joining, scoring six goals and providing six assists across all competitions.
Liverpool Looking to Replace Robertson
Liverpool's Andy Robertson
Liverpool are expected to be in the market for a new left-back this summer to replace Robertson.
The Scotland international is set to leave Anfield on a free transfer after the season, bringing an end to his decorated nine-year spell on Merseyside.
While Tottenham are believed to be frontrunners to secure his signature, provided they avoid relegation from the Premier League, Atletico Madrid are also said to be keeping close tabs on his situation.
Robertson’s boyhood club Celtic have also been continually linked with a move, but remain unlikely to emerge as leading candidates given the serious interest in Robertson from Europe’s top five leagues.
