We're not even a month into the transfer window yet and silly season already feels like it's upon us.
Every summer, the Premier League are often the busiest teams in the transfer market with each club signing at least one player.
In fact, most of them sign multiple players each season to try and compete for as much silverware as possible.
That hasn't always been the case with Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp often looked to promote from within rather than source talent from elsewhere.
But, that changed in the 2025-26 season with the club spending over £450 million on new players.
Despite this obscene amount of spending, the Reds actually ended up worse off than they started as they finished fifth in the table.
After the season finished, rumours emerged about what the future held for Liverpool and their players and now, a major update has been shared regarding one of their star men.
One story that rocked Liverpool fans earlier in June was the fact that Bayern Munich wanted to sign Rio Ngumoha.
After the Bundesliga outfit missed out on Anthony Gordon, they turned their attention towards the young Englishman after an impressive season.
This news shocked fans as most people see him as the next big thing at the club and potentially their next Luis Diaz so, the fact that some reports went as far as to say that terms between the left-winger and Bayern were already agreed was fairly scary.
But, since that first report emerged, nothing more has been said on the topic with journalist David Lynch providing a fresh update on the situation.
"From Rio Ngumoha’s perspective, while Bayern did make contact with his representatives in an attempt to lay the foundations for a move, claims that terms had been agreed between the two parties are understood to be entirely false," he wrote.
"The same goes for suggestions that the door to a departure might have been left ajar because of Ngumoha’s unhappiness with the minutes he picked up at Liverpool last season.
"In reality, the teenager was fully appreciative of the careful handling he received from Arne Slot last term."
Since Andoni Iraola is the new head coach of Liverpool, things are bound to change.
The Reds' fanbase were growing distant from Arne Slot due to many different things but one of their main problems with him was how he treated the Reds' youth players.
Even though most of Liverpool's youngsters would've probably performed better than some of Slot's starters, he never seemed to trust them, that was, until the end of the campaign.
Once the Dutchman eventually saw how "exceptional" Ngumoha was, he started to use him over Cody Gakpo who, lets be honest, was miles off the pace for most of the season.
And, thanks to these impressive performances, there's no way that the young Englishman won't get a chance to prove his worth to Iraola, especially with his track record of using youngsters in his starting XI.
The Spaniard's appointment could also be good for others such as Kieran Morrison and Trey Nyoni who also found themselves outside of Slot's plans.
There's obviously no knowing how things will pan out now that the former Rayo Vallecano manager is in charge but, if he performs as well as he did with the Cherries, Liverpool could find themselves in the best position possible.
