On Friday it emerged that FC Bayern was looking to sign Rio Ngumoha from Liverpool FC after Anthony Gordon’s transfer defeat. Head coach Vincent Kompany is said to be particularly keen on signing the super talent. However, it is unlikely that Munich will win the contract for the offensive man.
As transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel on Saturday, the Reds have no interest in letting the 17-year-old go. “Liverpool FC has no intention of negotiating a transfer fee, sitting down at the table and discussing the value of Rio Ngumoha,” the expert made clear on Saturday.
FC Bayern has “absolutely no chance” of getting the traditional Anfield club to change their minds. It is even “impossible” for the Reds to let their left winger go. On Friday, the specialist portal “The Athletic” and “Sky” unanimously reported that the Englishman is on the wish list of the Munich team and, above all, head coach Vincent Kompany.
Liverpool FC doesn’t want to hand over “wunderkind” to Bayern
Ngumoha was used 19 times in the Premier League under Arne Slot and was in the starting line-up five times. With two goals and an assist, the right-footed player has already made a small mark in what is probably the strongest league in the world. On top of that: With four substitutions in the Champions League, the England U19 international can also look back on his first international experience.
The German record champions have not yet made contact with Liverpool FC, where the youngster is under contract until 2028. At Anfield Road, meanwhile, people are saying that Rio Ngumoha is not for sale. It was only last September that the “child prodigy”, as Ngumoha was nicknamed after his debut with the winning goal on Matchday 2 against Newcastle, signed a professional contract.
At the end of May, those responsible at FC Bayern had apparently even reached an agreement with the desired player after Gordon’s cancellation, according to “Sky”. The Reds apparently remain unimpressed.
