"The Blaugrana are understood to be in the market for a reliable and cost-effective right-back as backup for Jules Kounde for next season. In fact, as per the report, Barcelona have already held opening talks with Ryerson's camp, with the right-back understood to be open to a summer transfer. Nothing is concrete or advanced at this point, though, but there appears to be interest from both parties to make the move happen."
"Ryerson, 28, has been with Dortmund since January 2023 and has been a largely reliable player for the team. In the ongoing campaign, he has five assists from 20 matches in all competitions. As for Barcelona, they have been largely reliant on Jules Kounde at right-back over the past couple of years, although the Frenchman's performance had dipped somewhat in the early parts of the ongoing campaign."
FC Barcelona have begun exploratory talks with Julian Ryerson's camp regarding a summer transfer to provide a reliable, cost-effective right-back backup for Jules Kounde. Ryerson is understood to be open to a summer move. Ryerson, 28, is contracted to Borussia Dortmund until 2028 and joined them in January 2023. He has been a reliable performer and has registered five assists in 20 matches this season. Barcelona have relied heavily on Kounde at right-back, while Eric Garcia filled the position before being used increasingly in midfield and central defence. Youth options Xavi Espart and Hector Fort (on loan at Elche) are also potential alternatives. Nothing concrete has been agreed.
