Bayern Munich is interested in Liverpool youngster Rio Ngumoha. However, it looks like that interest will be in vain for Die Roten.
According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are unwilling to sell Rio Ngumoha to any team, including Bayern Munich. The club has confirmed that the wonderkid will remain at the club after signing a contract extension in September 2025.
"EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool consider Rio Ngumoha untouchable and not for sale this summer. Despite reports of a move to Bayern, Liverpool's stance is clear that Ngumoha will not leave the club after signing a new contract. Liverpool's response to the Bayern transfer rumors. Not possible," wrote Fabrizio Romano on Instagram.
In the 2025/2026 season, Liverpool gave Rio Ngumoha ample playing time . According to Transfermarkt , he played 29 matches across all competitions, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup.
That season, Rio scored two goals for Liverpool. The 17-year-old also had one assist.
Rio also set a new record in his second season with the senior team. According to the club's social media, he became the youngest goalscorer at Anfield at the age of 17 years and 225 days.
Statistically, Rio is particularly sharp on the wings. According to the Premier League website, the number 74 has fired six shots from inside the penalty area.
Given Rio's potential, it's natural for Bayern Munich to want another young player on the wing. They already have 18-year-old Lennart Karl.
