In order to get his squad going full steam ahead of the start of the new Premier League season, Arne Slot will be hoping to make a significant impression in the transfer market during his first summer in command. Fabrizio Romano reports that the Reds are nearing an agreement to sign the gifted young player, who is expected to depart the Blues.

It is said that Liverpool will forgo their academy wage structure in order to sign Rio Ngumoha, a young player from Chelsea, this summer. The 15-year-old winger, who is presently a member of Stamford Bridge’s youth team, is reportedly nearing an agreement with the Reds.

Highly-touted Chelsea prospect set to join Liverpool

Over the years, the Blues have lost a number of outstanding players, the most notable ones being Michael Olise, Declan Rice, and Jamal Musiala. After moving from Chelsea to Bayern Munich, Musiala became one of the best attackers in the league.

The loss of Ngumoha is significant for Chelsea’s youth development program. The Blues had great expectations for the young forward’s future at Stamford Bridge because he was seen as a rising star in the academy. The action is especially noteworthy because of the alleged lengths Liverpool will go in order to get Ngumoha.

Romano implies that in order to acquire the young talent, the Reds are willing to violate their academy wage structure. This demonstrates the significant ability they perceive in Ngumoha. The transfer’s specifics are yet unknown, although rumours suggest that the agreement is almost final.
