Liverpool F.C.'s Rio Ngumoha is seeking assurances of more game time under new manager Andoni Iraola before signing a new contract, according to sources. Ngumoha provided a spark for Liverpool F.C. as they qualified for the Champions League last season. The 17-year-old winger made a significant impact in his first senior campaign at Anfield, but felt underused as the team struggled under former manager Arne Slot. Slot handed Ngumoha just five Premier League starts, with three of those coming in the final weeks of the season. Andoni Iraola has now taken the reins at Liverpool F.C. and will need to give Ngumoha ample opportunities to convince him to sign fresh terms. Liverpool F.C. is keen to tie Ngumoha down to a new deal as he attracts interest from Bayern Munich. His current deal expires in 2028, and an extension is likely to be agreed if he becomes a regular under the new Reds boss. Ngumoha's 2025-26 exploits saw him awarded the Premier League Debutant of the Year award, while he earned his first England cap against New Zealand. Andoni Iraola has a reputation for developing young stars and bringing the best out of every player in his squad. Eli Junior Kroupi bagged 13 times in 33 league games under Iraola last term, but sources have revealed that the new Liverpool F.C. boss has no plans to sign Kroupi. Iraola is not currently planning to raid his old club for any stars, despite links to the Frenchman and Brazil winger Rayan. Liverpool F.C. will be hoping to keep Ngumoha at the club, as he is regarded as one of the most exciting players to come through the club in a long time.
