Not just Barcelona: Premier League duo chasing BVB star Ryerson | OneFootball

After his outstanding performances for Borussia Dortmund, Julian Ryerson is increasingly coming into the focus of top international clubs. Apparently, two teams from the Premier League are now also showing concrete interest in the BVB defender.

Julian Ryerson is making a name for himself on the international stage at Borussia Dortmund – and this is attracting high-profile suitors. According to Bild, in addition to FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Newcastle United are now also taking a serious look at the Norwegian international.

At the latest, since his outstanding performance in the 4-0 victory over 1. FSV Mainz 05, when the 28-year-old set up all four goals, Ryerson has been the talk of the town. In a total of 29 competitive matches this season, the full-back has provided 13 assists – an impressive figure for a defensive player. His development has not gone unnoticed internally, either. Coach Niko Kovac recently praised the right-footer’s continuous improvement and highlighted his importance for the team’s attacking play.

According to Bild, Manchester United and Newcastle United have made initial inquiries. Both clubs are looking for long-term reinforcements at right-back. In addition, FC Liverpool has also been linked with Ryerson at times.

Manchester United and Newcastle Compete for BVB Star Ryerson

The English clubs have the financial resources to pay both an attractive transfer fee and significantly increase the Norwegian’s salary. Currently, the defender reportedly earns around five million euros per year at Dortmund – which is relatively low compared to his teammates.

However, there is no urgent need for BVB to sell. Ryerson only extended his contract in October 2024, committing himself to the club until 2028, putting Dortmund in a comfortable negotiating position. His market value is estimated at around 20 million euros – a sum that is unlikely to tempt the Dortmund management into a hasty sale.

One thing is clear: from a sporting perspective, they do not want to lose the 39-time Norwegian international. But the stronger Ryerson’s performances, the more likely it is that a serious transfer battle will develop in the summer – with English clubs involved.
