Liverpool Turn Down Reported €70m Bayern Approach for Rio Ngumoha

The club is pressing to extend Ngumoha’s contract to keep him in the first team, which has stalled reported talks with the German side.

Overview

  • Reports say Bayern Munich were prepared to offer about €70 million and held conversations with Ngumoha’s representatives, including his brother.
  • Liverpool refused to enter negotiations, with the club using the player’s existing deal to block a move and insist on retention.
  • The club is pursuing a new long-term contract for Ngumoha while giving him meaningful first-team opportunities under manager Andoni Iraola.
  • Ngumoha has progressed rapidly since joining from Chelsea’s academy and now features regularly for Liverpool, a development that increases his market value.
  • The €70 million figure and the claim of talks come from a limited set of transfer sources, so Bayern could still re-emerge as a suitor but no offer has been confirmed.
