Overview
- German outlet Absolut Fussball, relayed by multiple publications, reports Liverpool are assessing a January deal for Julian Ryerson, with no formal bid disclosed.
- Conor Bradley has been ruled out for the season, creating a shortage at right back as Jeremie Frimpong is often deployed higher up the pitch.
- Ryerson is contracted to Borussia Dortmund until 2028 and carries an estimated £17m valuation on Transfermarkt, suggesting a low-cost winter move is unlikely.
- The Norway international has six assists in 22 appearances this season and has featured at right back, wing-back and centre-back, with solid defensive metrics cited by fbref.
- Registration and homegrown quotas could complicate any mid-season addition, Barcelona were previously linked, and David Ornstein has indicated a new right back may not be a Liverpool priority this window.
