How much Rio Ngumoha will make after SENSATIONAL Liverpool contract is agreed | OneFootball

One of the Reds' wonderkids is set for a huge pay rise this season when he signs a new deal.

The Reds have a lot of talent in the squad and not everyone is the final product quite yet. Youngsters Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni have been added into the fold this year by Arne Slot to bring their youthful exuberance and creative freedom to the side and as such, they're taking a big career step.

As such, new contracts are coming their way and Ngumoha in particular has already been able to imprint himself on the Premier League, scoring against Newcastle. That comes at a cost to the club.

New deal and pay rise expected

According to TBR Football, a new contract is expected to be put to Ngomoha to secure his future at the club for the long-term and as a result of proving his worth to the head coach, he's about to be paid in accordance with those he's playing against - it's an astronomical increase in pay.

Their report claims that the Englishman is currently earning an academy wage of £300 a week, which is set to increase by 7000% as bonuses tip him towards a yearly salary of roughly £1m.

Head of Football Finance and Governance Content for GRV Media, Adam Williams said: "Rio Ngumoha has a lot going for him in terms of his value besides his obvious talent. He's young, he's homegrown, and he's about to sign his first professional contract.

"Liverpool are said to cap first-year professional salaries at £52,000 a year, but that will be quite significantly topped up by performance-related bonuses. I'd be stunned if he ends up on anything less than £1m per year, and there will be big step-ups year on year, plus provisions for image rights and so on."
