Bayern Munich makes a surprising move for Liverpool's rising star, Rio Ngumoha, reaching an agreement last week. This news unveils a potential shift in the 17-year-old's career trajectory.
Ngumoha, who impressed during a breakout 2025/26 season, played a crucial role for Liverpool despite just 19 Premier League appearances. With the arrival of new manager Andoni Iraola, there’s hope for Ngumoha to thrive further at Anfield. However, Bayern Munich sees him as a key addition to their attacking lineup, especially after missing out on Anthony Gordon from FC Barcelona.
David Ornstein reports that Bayern plans to bolster their squad and identifies Ngumoha as their top target for the left side. While Bayern’s interest is strong, Liverpool officials are adamant that Ngumoha is not for sale, aiming to enhance their attacking options rather than weaken them.
Despite claims from German reporter Florian Plettenberg about a full verbal agreement between Ngumoha and Bayern, the deal has reportedly collapsed. Plettenberg highlights that Bayern viewed Ngumoha as an essential backup to Luis Díaz, but the negotiations are currently stalled. The situation remains fluid as Liverpool prepares for the upcoming season.
