Liverpool to pay more than first expected for completed transfer – Ornstein

Liverpool have now discovered exactly how much they will need to pay for Rio Ngumoha, with an independent tribunal settling the compensation owed to Chelsea.

The 17-year-old winger joined Liverpool from Chelsea’s academy in September 2024, and the two clubs were unable to agree a training compensation fee without external arbitration.

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Liverpool must pay an initial £2.8m, a figure that could rise to £6.8m once performance-related add-ons are included.
