BVB ties Norwegian Ryerson until 2028 – unique superstar!

Champions League leaders Borussia Dortmund have important news to report: Norwegian right-back Julian Ryerson will stay at the club until at least 2028. BVB officially announced this on Thursday. Ryerson, the 26-year-old, moved from upcoming BVB opponent Union Berlin to Dortmund in 2022 for an impressive five million euros, a sum that came about due to a contract clause.

Since his move, Ryerson has already played 62 competitive games for BVB and scored five goals. This also included the Champions League final against Real Madrid, which Dortmund lost 2-0. Interestingly, he can also be deployed on the left side of defense, demonstrating his versatility. According to information from Sky, his salary was also increased with the contract extension: Ryerson now earns five million euros per year. He has also established himself internally as a spokesman and top performer.

Kehl praises Ryerson

Sports director Sebastian Kehl is enthusiastic about Ryerson's development: "Immediately after his signing, Julian became a very important part of our team. This applies both on and off the pitch." Kehl further emphasizes that this positive development was not expected by everyone, as many were skeptical after his move last winter. He added: “We knew from the start that Julian, with his dynamism, intensity and hunger for success, would be an excellent fit for BVB and our virtues.”

Ryerson himself was pleased with his new contract: "To be honest, it still feels the same as it did on day one. I'm still proud and humbled to be part of this club. And I'm just happy now that I can continue playing for Borussia Dortmund." These positive statements from the two people involved illustrate the importance that Ryerson now has for the team.
