"Newcastle United may have to consider a refresh in their right-back department as the summer transfer window nears. Eddie Howe has had to rely heavily on Kieran Trippier in that full-back position with Tino Livramento sidelined on more than one occasion this season. That in itself has not been ideal, though, with the Bury-born defender now 35 years old and also not the most reliable from an injury perspective."
"Newcastle are intensively considering a move for Borussia Dortmund right-back Julian Ryerson, according to German outlet BILD. The 28-year-old has been a key component of the Bundesliga side since his 2023 move from Union Berlin, and can play on either flank. Both Trippier and Livramento bring an attacking edge to the position, something that Ryerson should have no issue living up to, as he boasts 13 assists in 29 appearances in all competitions this season."
Newcastle face a potential overhaul at right-back as Kieran Trippier's contract expires at season's end and injury issues have limited reliability. Eddie Howe has depended heavily on Trippier while Tino Livramento has been sidelined multiple times. Howe has reported no progress on new contract talks, and the club is reportedly planning to recruit a right-back. Borussia Dortmund's Julian Ryerson, 28, is a target after moving from Union Berlin in 2023 and can play on either flank. Ryerson has 13 assists in 29 appearances this season, Manchester United also show interest, and his market value is around 20m.
