However, they are determined to receive bids for Liverpool targets Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo.
Syrian-born Dahoud joined from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2017 in a deal agreed when Thomas Tuchel was still in charge of the German giants.
By the time Dahoud’s move was completed, Tuchel had left Signal Iduna Park club, beating Liverpool and Barcelona to his signature, while Chelsea and Manchester City had previously also been keen before he was snapped up by Dortmund.
Dahoud made his breakthrough in Germany in 2021 and earned his first two international matches against Turkey and the Czech Republic.
