Barcelona is preparing for a busy summer transfer window, with several spots in their team needing attention. Right-back is one of the positions that might need a new player. Currently, Jules Kounde is playing there, but he hasn't been consistent, and there's no backup. So, Barcelona might look for a new right-back. There have been rumors that Barcelona is interested in Borussia Dortmund's Julian Ryerson. But, according to reports, it's unlikely that they will sign him next summer. Dortmund values Ryerson highly, and he has a long contract with them. Plus, Barcelona's financial situation isn't great, so spending a lot on a right-back might not be the best idea.
Instead, Barcelona might have better luck with Ryerson's teammate, Nico Schlotterbeck. He plays as a central defender, which is another position Barcelona needs to address. Schlotterbeck could be a good option for Barcelona's sporting director, Deco. But, will they be able to sign him? Only time will tell. Barcelona has a lot of decisions to make this summer. They need to prioritize which positions to strengthen. Spending big on a right-back might not be the smartest move, especially when there are other areas that need attention. It will be interesting to see how things play out.
