The 23-year-old says he's flattered at being linked with English giant Liverpool and Italian heavyweight Roma.

But Ryan, who has won consecutive goalkeeper of the year awards in Belgium where he plays for Club Brugge, says he's yet to receive any firm offer.

"Obviously it's flattering if you're being linked to clubs but I have been around the game long enough now to know interest is talk until something is concrete," Ryan told AAP on Thursday.

"It's a lot of chit chat and talk ... I don't even think about it now, to be honest. You can only live life by the facts that are in front of you."

Ryan, in camp with the Australia squad ahead of its World Cup qualification campaign opener in Kyrgyzstan on June 16, is keen to pursue opportunities in bigger European leagues - he's just not sure when.

"Like any footballer or anyone in life, you always want to challenge yourself and get to the highest level you can and there is no doubt that I'm the same," he said.

"But at the same time it has got to be at the right time and the right move.

"I'm surrounded by people who will help drive me to a decision, if it comes to that stage where I need to make one, and to be aware of all the facts and what is going to be good for me.

"But definitely I'm ambitious. Whether that be this year or next year, it remains to be seen."

Ryan stressed he was happy at Club Brugge, which has a looming UEFA Champions League campaign after finishing second in Belgium in the recently ended season.

"I recognise what a good position I am in at the moment, being at a big club in Europe and playing every week," he said.

"It's a little bit sour if I was to move on to bigger and better things not having won a championship with Brugge, it would hurt a little bit. It's all these things you have to weigh up.

"The transfer window is a long period and it's a little bit early at this stage to know what is happening, but I have an agent to look after all those sort of things ... time will sort everything out."
