Bayern Munich eye Liverpool starlet Rio Ngumoha as Diaz rival
BILD reports Bayern see the 18-year-old as cover for Luis Díaz after missing out on Bradley Barcola, valued at around €50m by Transfermarkt.
Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Rio Ngumoha, the 18-year-old Liverpool winger, as competition for Luis Díaz on the left. According to FourFourTwo, citing BILD, the Bavarians backed off Bradley Barcola over the fee Paris Saint-Germain demanded, and now they are looking at the Englishman instead.
Ngumoha joined Anfield at the start of last year and forced his way into the plans of Arne Slot, before Andoni Iraola replaced Slot at the start of this season. Transfermarkt values him at €50m, far below the £106m Liverpool paid for Barcola, plus £17m in add-ons.
Bayern want reinforcements as soon as January because of their injury crisis: Díaz, Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala are out, and Alphonso Davies started on the left against Arsenal in the Champions League.
