Transfer News: Bayern Munich’s Liverpool Winger Pursuit Ends Before It Begins Bayern Munich’s attempt to sign Rio Ngumoha from Liverpool came crashing down last week in arguably the most dramatic collapsed deal of this summer’s transfer window. The Athletic’s David Ornstein broke the wider story publicly on 5 June, confirming that the 17-year-old Liverpool winger had become Bayern’s primary target for the left side and that the German club was fully aware Liverpool insisted he was not for sale.

Fabrizio Romano subsequently clarified on his YouTube channel that Liverpool’s stance on Ngumoha had been firm not just on that day but for several months prior, describing him as “untouchable” within the club’s project. Transfer News: Kompany’s Personal Push Still Falls Short Plettenberg confirmed that Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany personally approved the Ngumoha deal after holding direct talks with the teenager, and the situation advanced to a stage that looked close to a breakthrough.

Transfer News: Saibari Adds a Different Dimension to Bayern’s Summer Saibari has already agreed to personal terms with Bayern and spoken directly with Kompany, with club-to-club negotiations with PSV Eindhoven continuing at pace. Bayern’s summer window tells a clear stoy about how quickly plans can unravel.
