Liverpool may “break wage structure” to sign a young player from Chelsea.

Liverpool plans to waive their traditional wage structure in order to sign Rio Ngumoha, a teenage player from Chelsea.

After Ngumoha and Chelsea’s contract negotiations broke down, Liverpool is nearing a deal to sign the highly-regarded young player from their Premier League opponents.

The 15-year-old’s West London contract ends this summer, and the Reds are willing to pay above the academy level in order to recruit him.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool and the England youth international are close to reaching an agreement, which would be a major win for the Merseysiders’ academy system.

Ngumoha, who was born in 2008, participated in 2023–24 as a member of the Chelsea first team after training with them earlier this year. He rose to become Chelsea’s under-21 team’s third-youngest player of the century.

The winger, who has been compared to Jamal Musiala, scored in the championship game to win the Premier League U16 Nationals “Player of the Tournament” award in October 2023. In April, he also scored in the u-17 Premier League Cup Final with a fantastic solo performance.

The Liverpool star is backed by former Man City striker Sergio Aguero to “replace” Lionel Messi.

Sergio Aguero claims that Liverpool may have a man selected to take Lionel Messi’s position for Argentina.

He is a huge admirer of the person Arne Slot will succeed. When Lionel Messi retires, Alexis Mac Allister, a midfielder for Liverpool, is predicted to be one of Argentina’s future captains.

As his country gets closer to living without what is perhaps the greatest footballer of all time, Sergio Aguero has identified the Reds star as one to watch in the future.

Mac Allister had a fantastic debut season at Anfield. After moving from Brighton for $45 million (£35 million/€41 million), the Argentine showed to be an excellent value, playing 46 times. Remarkably, Mac Allister still has a lot of growth to do despite being able to play as a No. 6 and a No. 8.

“In my opinion, our next leaders will be Julian Alvarez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Enzo Fernandez,” Aguero stated to Stake. “Some people mention Emi Martinez, but goalkeepers play different roles and require different kinds of leadership. However, I believe those will be the players in the future.”

Under Arne Slot, Mac Allister hopes to get back on track after winning Liverpool’s Player of the Year title in his rookie season. He will make his Champions League debut in 2024–2025 and has the opportunity to further showcase himself against some of the greatest opponents.

There is no reason Mac Allister couldn’t establish himself as a leader at the club level as the revamped team ushers in a new chapter without Jurgen Klopp. The number 10 for Liverpool, who has previously won the World Cup, is currently aiming for additional success with the Reds and Argentina in the upcoming months, as well as the Copa America.

According to Liverpool.com, Mac Allister, 25, still has more to give. He was among the top players in the Premier League for a large portion of the previous campaign. He is already significant to his nation, but it will be interesting to watch how he handles assuming a more prominent position. With his further rise in prominence and relevance, that ought to be achievable at Anfield as well.
