Bayern Munich may seek a new winger in January, potentially targeting Liverpool's Rio Ngumoha to cover for the injured Luis Diaz, according to Christian Falk's CF Bayern Insider column. Diaz has given his approval for Bayern to sign someone to take his place while he's injured. Ngumoha could help Vincent Kompany's team cope with Diaz's absence. Falk's reporting suggests Bayern is looking to make a signing.

Bayern previously showed interest in Ngumoha during the summer, with Florian Plettenberg reporting that they had reached a verbal agreement with Ngumoha and his camp. However, the deal collapsed at that time. Plettenberg's report indicated that Ngumoha was a priority signing as a backup to Diaz.

Liverpool is likely to resist selling Ngumoha, having previously held on to him when Bayern showed interest in the summer. Ngumoha has become more involved in Liverpool's first team and is now a key player, making it more likely that they will try to keep him. The club's determination to retain Ngumoha is expected to make it challenging for Bayern to secure his services.
