Bayern Munich interested in Liverpool winger Ngumoha

Senior football correspondentPublished4 minutes agoCommentsBayern Munich are interested in signing Liverpool's 17-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha.

The German side made enquries about a potential move for the teenager, but sources have indicated that no face-to-face discussions have taken place.

Ngumoha, currently at a preparation camp in Florida as a supplementary member of the England squad, is believed to be aware of the interest from Germany, though no agreement over personal terms has been struck.

Sources close to Liverpool insist Ngumoha is not available and is viewed as an important member of the first team who operates in a position they are trying to strengthen.

Liverpool have a major interest in RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who, if signed, could provide Ngumoha with a further obstacle to playing regularly next season.

With that in mind, it remains to be seen whether a deal is possible despite Liverpool's stance that he isn't for sale.

Ngumoha scored two goals, including a late winner in a 3-2 victory at Newcastle United on his Premier League debut in August, and registered one assist in the 2025-26 campaign.

He made his debut under the Reds' former manager Arne Slot, who was sacked last week, in a 4-0 win over Accrington in the FA Cup in January 2025.

He was aged 16 years and 135 days old at the time and became the youngest player to start a match for Liverpool.

Ngumoha, who has played through the England age groups, left Chelsea's academy in September 2024 to join the Reds and signed his first professional contract with them a year later.

In February 2026, a tribunal ruled that Liverpool had to pay at least £2.8m to Chelsea for the winger.

The fee could rise through add-ons if certain conditions are met and the Blues will also be owed 20% of the profit if Liverpool sell Ngumoha.
