Liverpool offer Nigerian youngster Rio Ngumoha four-year deal to ward off interest from Real Madrid

Liverpool is set to offer England-born Nigerian forward Rio Ngumoha a new deal to ward off interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The 17-year-old has emerged as a priority target for Real Madrid, with his current contract with the Reds expected to elapse in summer 2026.

Real Madrid’s interest is fueled by Ngumoha’s imminent contract expiration, opening the door for potential transfer talks. The record Champions League holders sees Ngumoha as a strategic long-term target, fully aware that other top European clubs are also tracking his progress.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is also bent on keeping the promising English-Nigerian attacker beyond 2026, offering the attacker a four-year contract extension, set to take effect once he turns 18.

The 17-year-old forward, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in summer 2024 has already eched his name into the history books of the Reds following his strike in the Premier League opener against Bournemouth.

Ngumoha netted his debut goal when Liverpool staged a strong comeback to secure a 4-2 over the Cherries. His goal made him the youngest scorer in the club’s history, and his inclusion in Arne Slot’s Champions League squad has only confirmed his immense potential.
