Liverpool have told Bayern Munich that Rio Ngumoha is not for sale after learning of the German club’s interest in signing the breakout teenager. Ngumoha will be 18 in August, but after a season of exciting cameos, there is no plan to let him leave the club with the Reds of the opinion that the 17-year-old will be one of the world’s best attackers when he matures.

It’s expected that after his breakout season, and with Andoni Iraola’s record of promoting young players, Ngumoha will play a lot more for the Reds next season. Liverpool not entertaining Bayern Munich interest in Ngumoha Reporting for The Athletic, David Ornstein has revealed Bayern Munich’s interest in Ngumoha, although Liverpool will not consider selling the 17-year-old after his explosive start to life at Anfield. ??

“Ngumoha, 17, is aware of Bayern’s strong interest and intentions — driven by head coach Vincent Kompany and the board — although they are yet to contact Liverpool. “Future planning has to start now and while Bayern have many talented young players who have emerged or are emerging — most obviously Jamal Musiala, 23, but also 18-year-old Lennart Karl — there is no obvious standout on the left side of the attack.” Three goals and one assist in 31 games is an encouraging start to life on the senior stage, but there is still a lot of development ahead of Ngumoha before he can compete for a starting spot in Liverpool’s first team.
