Borussia Dortmund have contacted Julian Ryerson's agency to initiate talks over a potential contract extension beyond 2028, according to Sport Bild.

The Norwegian full-back feels very comfortable under head coach Niko Kovac and is grateful to the club for helping him establish himself as a player attracting interest from top clubs across Europe.

At the same time, however, the report claims that Ryerson dreams of experiencing life in another country, having lived in Germany since joining 1. FC Union Berlin in the summer of 2018.

The decision will therefore ultimately come down to whether Ryerson wants to continue his journey at Dortmund or seek a fresh challenge outside Germany.

He was mainly linked with a move to FC Barcelona last summer, but the Catalan giants ultimately opted to sign Joao Cancelo instead.
