Liverpool have made a definitive call on the future of teenage winger Rio Ngumoha following fresh reports that Bayern Munich are preparing a €70 million (£58m) approach. Despite the Bundesliga champions holding discussions with the 18-year-old's brother over a 2027 switch to provide cover for Luis Diaz, Anfield chiefs refuse to cash in.
Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Ibrahim Maza has revealed that earning a Kopa Trophy vote from Argentine icon Lionel Messi has fuelled his ambition to win the Ballon d'Or in the future. Meanwhile, the attacking midfielder also opened up on the difficult personal choice he made two years ago to switch his international allegiance from Germany to Algeria.
