In the summer of 2025, Sky Sports reported that both Wolverhampton and Sunderland had expressed their interest in Julian Ryerson signing. Then came the 2025/26 season where Ryerson was absolutely outstanding in the Dortmund shirt, the player with the second most assists in the Bundesliga. This summer, it was Manchester United and Newcastle who were linked with the Norwegian international. From Germany, it is reported that something could be in the works.
This season, the Borussia Dortmund player has yet to record a goal in the Bundesliga (4 assists in the cup), but has a top position in Bundesliga.com’s statistics overview. The 28-year-old has in the first eight games submitted the most “crosses from open play” (36) in the league, where the pass is sent from a wide position into the sixteen-yard box while the game is in progress (not from set-pieces).

Borussia Dortmund know the Premier League clubs are still following Ryerson’s performance and situation. This week, Bild reports that Ryerson’s representatives have been called by Dortmund management with an invitation to negotiate a new contract.

Still, after 4.5 years at Union Berlin and almost 4 years at Dortmund, with a desire to play football in another country, it is approaching the right time in his career to open the door to other offers.
