BVB could pocket 30 million, Man United chase Dortmund star | OneFootball

After his strong season at Borussia Dortmund, one key player has apparently attracted the interest of Manchester United. BVB could hope for a high transfer fee in the event of a possible move.

Manchester United are reportedly taking a close look at Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Ryerson. This is being reported by both kicker and pay-TV broadcaster Sky. Interest in the Norwegian international is said to have increased significantly in England recently. The trigger appears to be the situation surrounding Noussair Mazraoui. If the former Bayern Munich player leaves the “Red Devils,” United would need to strengthen at right-back. Ryerson is said to be high on their list.

The 28-year-old enjoyed the best season of his career at BVB and established himself as one of Dortmund’s most important players. In the last Bundesliga campaign alone, the right-back provided 15 assists — an exceptional number for a defensive player. It is precisely this attacking strength that is reportedly drawing attention in England.

Although Ryerson is still under contract in Dortmund until 2028, a departure is apparently not being ruled out. BVB need transfer income to continue pushing ahead with their planned squad rebuild. That is why even a key player like Ryerson could become a candidate for sale if the right offer arrives.

The possible transfer fee is likely to play a decisive role. According to Sky, around €30 million is being discussed, with some reports even mentioning figures between €35 million and €40 million. For Borussia Dortmund, that would represent a huge transfer profit, especially since the Black and Yellows paid Union Berlin just €5 million in January 2023.

Sporting managing director Lars Ricken, however, recently did not want to hear anything about a possible sale. Speaking to WAZ, he described the rumours as “complete nonsense.” He also made clear: “Julian is an absolute key player, a mentality monster who, with his quality, also makes our set pieces incredibly dangerous.”

Despite those clear words, the situation remains intriguing. According to Sky, Ryerson has long been a fan of the Premier League, and England is even said to be his dream destination. At the same time, after his strong season, Dortmund may never again be able to command a higher fee for him than in the upcoming transfer window.
