Bayern Munich Keep Tabs on Liverpool Winger Rio Ngumoha
Bayern Munich are still tracking Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha and could return next summer after reportedly weighing a €70m bid before signing Saibari.
Bayern Munich have not given up on Rio Ngumoha. According to German newspaper Bild, the Bundesliga giants are still monitoring the young Liverpool winger and could make a fresh attempt to sign him during next summer's transfer window.
A €70m plan put on hold
The report claims Bayern had been ready to spend around €70 million on the Liverpool youngster. In the end, however, the Bavarian club changed direction and brought in Moroccan midfielder Ismael Saibari instead, shelving their pursuit of Ngumoha for the time being.
Contact with his camp continues
Bild adds that Bayern remain in touch with Ngumoha's representatives as they evaluate whether a deal could be done further down the line. There is no indication yet of formal talks with Liverpool, and any move is likely to depend on the player's progress this season and on both clubs' plans.
Interest from one of Europe's heavyweights underlines how quickly Ngumoha has emerged as one of the most talked-about young players in the Premier League. For Liverpool, it is a reminder that keeping hold of their brightest prospects may require careful planning in the months ahead.
