Bayern Munich target Liverpool teenager Rio Ngumoha amid contract impasse

Bayern Munich are preparing a fresh attempt to sign Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha as uncertainty continues over the teenager’s contract situation, according to reports on Sunday.

The 18-year-old has become a substitute in Andoni Iraola’s plans, despite making a strong impact when given playing time. Ngumoha has appeared in 14 matches in all competitions this season, playing a total of 642 minutes and providing two assists.

His current Liverpool contract runs until June 2028. Talks over an extension have taken place, but the two sides are understood to remain some distance apart in their negotiations.

The Telegraph previously reported that Bayern Munich were interested in signing Ngumoha for £60m. However, Liverpool made their position clear by insisting they wanted to keep the player and rejecting the possibility of selling him.

Despite that stance, Bayern Munich want to revisit the situation and make another approach, taking advantage of the stalled discussions between Ngumoha and Liverpool over a new contract.
