Rio Ngumoha may need to ditch his agent as Liverpool make transfer decision
Rio Ngumoha could be led astray by his representatives amid speculation about his exit from Liverpool.
Bayern Munich were heavily linked with a move for the 17-year-old ahead of the upcoming transfer window and their interest has been corroborated.
The Reds have held firm on their stance regarding the England international and have shown no intention of entering negotiations for his sale.
It has been reported that Ngumoha's brother was involved in talks with Bayern over a potential move and it feels like the young winger should change his representatives sooner rather than later to avoid being steered down the wrong path in his career.
Anfield is undoubtedly the best place for the teenager to develop after a breakthrough 2025-26 campaign, making 29 appearances in all competitions under Arne Slot.
Andoni Iraola has now arrived at the Merseyside outfit, and the Spanish head coach built a reputation for bringing the best out of prospects during his time at Bournemouth.
Bayern Munich given assurances of Rio Ngumoha exit from Liverpool
Bayern were indeed seriously considering signing Ngumoha from Liverpool in the summer.
The forward's brother apparently indicated to the Allianz Stadium hierarchy that the youngster would be open to the idea of moving to the Bundesliga giants.
According to CF Bayern Insider on 12 June, Ngumoha's entourage indicated that there would be no problem sorting out contract details and the salary.
When the German club knocked on the Merseyside outfit's doors, they were rebuffed, with a clear indication from Anfield that the English attacker was not for sale.

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Liverpool would have been fuming with Bayern over how they approached Ngumoha.
Now that the Reds are aware of the German club's interest in their attacking prospect, they will surely want to tie him down to a new contract.
The youngster recently made his debut for England in a friendly before the start of the 2026 World Cup, and his valuation will surely skyrocket in the coming years if he fulfils expectations at the Merseyside outfit.
