Bayern Munich 'confident' of signing Rio Ngumoha as Liverpool stance revealed - transfer expert

Bayern Munich remain interested in Liverpool winger Ngumoha, but the Reds are determined to block any January approach and are working on a contract extension.

Bayern Munich are confident they can convince Liverpool to sell 18-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha, according to former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown. Bayern have already made contact with Ngumoha's representatives, with Brown suggesting the club believes a deal is possible.

However, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has made clear that Ngumoha is a key part of his plans and will not be allowed to leave. The club moved quickly to shut down speculation after Bayern's summer approach and remain determined to block any January bid. Ngumoha, who has been named in Thomas Tuchel's England squad, is believed to be happy at Liverpool and is receiving regular game time to develop.

Liverpool are working to secure Ngumoha's long-term future with a new contract extension, with his current deal running until summer 2028. The club views him as having significant potential and believes Anfield is the ideal environment for his development.
