Overview
- Multiple outlets reported this week that Bayern Munich made a concrete approach for Rio Ngumoha and that talks at representative level took place between late May and early June.
- German reporters said Ngumoha’s camp signalled openness to a move and that a verbal understanding was discussed with Bayern’s side.
- Liverpool have rebuffed club‑to‑club contact and publicly described Ngumoha as ‘untouchable’, saying they will not sell him this summer.
- Ngumoha strengthened his value by making his senior England debut and winning player‑of‑the‑match in the 1‑0 win over New Zealand and by scoring a long‑range goal in a behind‑closed‑doors training game.
- With a contract until 2028 and new head coach Andoni Iraola arriving for pre‑season, Liverpool are expected to keep Ngumoha and likely seek to extend his deal as his playing opportunities and transfer value rise.
