Real Madrid express firm interest in England-born Nigerian youngster Rio Ngumoha

England-born Nigerian promising forward Rio Ngumoha has emerged as a top transfer target for Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The 17-year-old forward, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in summer 2024 has already e6ched 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.

With his contract set to expire next summer, Real Madrid has expressed a strong interest to sign the talented forward.

The Spanish outfits’ 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 has no intention of letting their young prodigy depart the club. The Reds are preparing a four-year contract extension, set to take effect once Ngumoha turns 18. The main goal for the Merseysiders is to avoid losing such a promising striker.
