After being on the brink of joining Liverpool, Julian Ryerson will remain at Dortmund - at least for now. Talks over a potential transfer have reportedly collapsed, with negotiations hitting a wall late in the process. The defender had been seen as a priority signing for the interested team but it looks like they will have to look elsewhere or return with an improved offer. The transfer has collapsed, but Julian Ryerson could still emerge as a target for other linked sides such as Barcelona, Wolves and Sunderland. Defensively, Liverpool are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.33 goals conceded per game. Someone like Julian Ryerson could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Dortmund continue to be linked with Branimir Mlacic and Oscar Bobb while Liverpool are also rumoured to be tracking Jude Bellingham, Mateus Mane and Jacobo Ramon Naveros.
