Manchester United has set its sights on Julian Ryerson, the Borussia Dortmund defender, during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 28-year-old has garnered attention for his impressive performances at the ongoing World Cup, contributing significantly to Norway's journey to the quarter-finals.

The club aims to bolster its defense with a dynamic full-back capable of excelling on both flanks. According to FussballDaten, Ryerson is on Manchester United's shortlist, with a potential transfer fee of around €35 million. Given the club's financial resources, it remains to be seen if they are prepared to meet this asking price. Ryerson's proven quality in the Bundesliga suggests he could thrive in the Premier League, making the prospect of joining such a prestigious club appealing.

On the other hand, Barcelona also expresses interest in the talented defender. The Spanish champions are keen to enhance their squad depth and quality, and they too have the means to finalize a deal. As the transfer window approaches, it will be intriguing to see if they make an official offer.

Currently, Ryerson is focused on the World Cup, aiming to help Norway advance further as they face England in the quarter-finals. With his strong performances, discussions about his future will likely wait until the tournament concludes. Additionally, clubs from Italy are monitoring his situation, considering the reasonable asking price for a player of his caliber and experience.
