Borussia Dortmund eyes Mexican winger, Swedish left‑back as new signing Prates remains injured

Borussia Dortmund are linked to two promising young players following the 2026 World Cup. Former German international Lothar Matthäus highlighted 17‑year‑old Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora, who impressed at the tournament and has a contract clause allowing a move to Europe. Dortmund are reportedly monitoring his situation, though no deal has been confirmed.

The club also secured Swedish left‑back Daniel Svensson on a permanent deal after a loan from FC Nordsjælland. Svensson, 24, has become a regular in Niko Kovač’s side and attracted interest from Premier League clubs Liverpool and Arsenal, with a potential price tag of around €42 million. Dortmund have indicated they are not in a hurry to sell, as his contract runs until 2029.

Meanwhile, recent BVB signing Kaua Prates, a 12‑million‑euro left‑back from Brazil, is sidelined with a thigh injury. The setback means he will miss Dortmund’s upcoming training camp in Japan and will only return to full training once his rehabilitation progresses.
