Daniel Svensson moves to Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis. The total package loan fee + transfer fee – is 7.5 million euros. Everything will be finalised the week after the game against Kiel at the latest. The Swede receives a contract until 2029.
Borussia Dortmund have secured the permanent signing of Daniel Svensson, with the total deal—including the loan and transfer fee—amounting to €7.5 million. The Swedish full-back, who has impressed during his loan spell, will officially become a Dortmund player the week following their upcoming match against Holstein Kiel. The agreement includes a long-term contract keeping him at the Bundesliga club until 2029.
Svensson, 22, has been a standout performer since joining Dortmund on loan from Danish side FC Nordsjælland earlier in the season. Known for his pace, work ethic, and versatility on the left flank, he quickly integrated into the squad and made a strong case for a permanent stay. His consistent performances, both defensively and in attack, have not gone unnoticed by head coach Nuri Şahin and the Dortmund hierarchy.
The decision to secure Svensson on a full-time basis reflects Dortmund’s strategy of investing in young, high-potential talent with the ability to grow within the club’s system. With Raphael Guerreiro having left the club and Marcel Schmelzer retired, Svensson’s addition provides both stability and a long-term solution at left-back. He has already demonstrated maturity beyond his years and the adaptability required to thrive in a demanding tactical setup like Dortmund’s.
Negotiations between Dortmund and FC Nordsjælland progressed smoothly, with all parties keen to finalise the move. The total package of €7.5 million is seen as a shrewd investment in the current market, considering Svensson’s potential resale value and immediate impact on the first team. Sources close to the deal suggest that personal terms were agreed upon swiftly, with Svensson eager to remain in Germany and continue his development at a club competing regularly in Europe.
Off the pitch, Svensson has settled well in Dortmund, building strong relationships with teammates and quickly adjusting to life in the Bundesliga. His professional attitude and commitment to improving his game have earned him praise from both coaching staff and senior players.
Svensson’s contract until 2029 is a clear indication of Dortmund’s confidence in his abilities and their long-term planning. It also offers the player security and the platform to grow into one of Europe’s top full-backs. With a busy summer ahead, including preparations for next season and potential international duty with Sweden, Svensson’s future is now firmly rooted at Signal Iduna Park.
The move is expected to be finalised shortly after the Kiel match, allowing Svensson to focus entirely on his performances without the distraction of transfer speculation. Dortmund fans can look forward to watching him continue his upward trajectory in the black and yellow, as the club builds for a future driven by youth, energy, and ambition.
