Rio Ngumoha to Bayern Munich pushed in Germany – January attempt for Liverpool ace

Bayern Munich are targeting Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha, 18, as a potential January signing due to injury crisis in their attack.

Bayern Munich have Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha on their radar as a potential January transfer target. The 18-year-old winger joined Liverpool's youth system in 2024 after eight years at Chelsea and was promoted to the first team by Arne Slot in January 2025. He has scored two goals and provided three assists in 42 matches for the Reds.

Bayern's interest comes amid a severe injury crisis at the Allianz Arena. Jamal Musiala, Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari are all sidelined, leaving only Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Lennart Karl fit in attack. The German champions originally planned to strengthen their attack in the summer but may accelerate their plans due to the injury situation.

Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel is also on Bayern's radar, though reports suggest Gabriel is heading to Spain. Liverpool secured Ngumoha on a new contract until 2028 in September 2025, but Bayern believe the financial resources are available to make a January move.
