Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha has decided to stay at the club despite renewed interest and contact from Bayern Munich.
Bayern monitored the young winger for much of 2026 and explored signing him last summer before turning their attention to Ismael Saibari. German journalist Christian Falk reported that the German champions remain interested and that the player's representatives are in dialogue with Bayern officials.
Liverpool's hierarchy have categorically ruled out selling the promising winger. Their priority is to secure Ngumoha on a new long-term contract with improved financial terms.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano discussed the winger's situation on his YouTube channel:
“Many people are asking me about Bayern because there are rumours again from Germany about Rio Ngumoha. We need to separate two things here. There is no doubt that Bayern like him. But top clubs monitor all the best young talents in the world, like Rio or Nico Paz. Liverpool deserve respect in this situation. Last summer, the press tried to stir up panic around these rumours, but the club were absolutely calm. The player was never for sale, Liverpool never even considered negotiations and were not going to name a price – whether 50, 60, 70, 80 or 100 million.”
Ngumoha's own priority is to extend his contract, sharing Liverpool's view that he should continue his career at Anfield.
