Christian Falk, while speaking on his YouTube channel, shared some insight into Bayern Munich’s attempt to sign Rio Ngumoha, which came as a big surprise to fans. Three goals and one assist in his first season of senior football is a decent return, but more indicative of his imminent stratospheric rise is the lack of fear he’s shown despite making the daunting step-up to men’s Premier League football.

He continued: “There are rumors that the brother of him who is doing some transfers for him was already in Munich at Säbener Straße for talks, for negotiations, and signalled that the player would be interested to go to Bayern Munich and that there will be no problems with the contract details and salary.” Liverpool firmly closed the door on any chance of leaving Anfield Despite the cheeky attempt to poach Liverpool’s latest wonderkid, Falk affirms reports that there isn’t a world where FSG approves a sale of the teenager.

Now, it’s not uncommon for fans to say this about youth players when they break through, but there is something about Ngumoha that is different.
