Milan and Juventus join Arsenal and Manchester United in pursuit of Svensson

Borussia Dortmund defender Daniel Svensson has emerged as a primary transfer target for four major European clubs ahead of the January window. Milan and Juventus are reportedly prepared to challenge Premier League sides Arsenal and Manchester United for the 24-year-old’s signature. The Swedish full-back, who is also capable of playing in central defense, is valued between €35 million and €45 million by the Bundesliga side. Both Italian clubs are looking to address squad deficiencies that persisted through the summer transfer window. Coaches Luciano Spalletti at Juventus and Ruben Amorim at Milan may push for the acquisition to provide defensive versatility. Dortmund remains open to a potential sale should an interested club meet their asking price for the player.
