Liverpool reportedly have no intention of selling Rio Ngumoha any time in the near future, despite rumoured interest from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.The 17-year-old is among the Reds’ most exciting young players in many years, and he was one of the few positives to come out of a terrible 2025/26 season.Ngumoha scored the only goal of the game against Wrexham earlier this week, as his stock continues to rise, and he has the ability to be a future great of the game.For that reason, former scout Mick Brown has now made it clear to Football Insider that the teenage winger isn’t going anywhere other than Liverpool: “Liverpool do not want to see Ngumoha leave under any circumstances. “He’s being given his chance to impress in pre-season, and from what I hear, he’s done well and he’s really impressed Iraola.

I don’t doubt clubs will be interested, some of them have been watching him since before he joined Liverpool when they poached him from Chelsea. “If there was any indication he could be let go, then they would be prepared to swoop, but by all accounts he will play an important role under Iraola.

Having lost Salah, we know Liverpool want to strengthen out wide, but if Ngumoha continues to impress then I don’t think it will have any impact on his future.” The sky is the limit for Rio Ngumoha at Liverpool Ngumoha is a remarkable talent who will be a key squad player for Andoni Iraola this coming season, having been hailed as “extraordinary” by former Liverpool striker Michael Owen. For Ngumoha, it’s a case of staying focused and avoiding serious injury – if he manages to do both, he can become one of the best attacking players in the world over time.
