Rio Ngumoha is attracting interest from Bayern Munich this summer, but Andoni Iraola has shown why he needs the chance to work with the teenager before any transfer is even consideredRio Ngumoha is attracting interest from Bayern Munich(Image: Getty Images)Liverpool didn’t offer much to get excited about during the 2025/26 season. You only had to listen to the boos that greeted Arne Slot’s decision to substitute him against Chelsea to realize just what Liverpool has on its hands with the teenager.While most of his teammates had supporters eyeing up the exits, Ngumoha gave them something to get them on the edge of their seats.

Although he won’t play a part in this summer’s tournament, he’s already well on the path to international stardom.It shouldn’t come as a surprise then that he’s attracting interest from another of Europe’s titans then. The temptation to cash in and use the money to sign a ready-made star might be there, but the long-term benefits of keeping Ngumoha surely outweigh the short-term effect of selling him - especially with Andoni Iraola on his way.While fans were left frustrated at times by Slot’s hesitance to give Ngumoha and other youngsters a chance, Iraola doesn’t seem to hold the same reservations.Get Liverpool's new 2026/27 home kitThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Even just a year under his guidance could see his stock go through the roof.Whether that would then change Liverpool’s mind on selling him further down the line remains to be seen, but for the time being, there’s only one response to Bayern’s interest - move along, he's not for sale.
