I couldn’t find any credible reports or sources confirming that Mohamed Salah sent a message warning Rio Ngumoha to “stay away from this dangerous trap or your career could vanish.” It’s likely that this headline is either speculative or satirical. If you came across it on social media or a less verified site, it might be exaggerated or misquoted.
Here’s what reliable sources do confirm:
- Rio Ngumoha is a genuine rising star. At just under 17 years old, he became Liverpool’s youngest-ever Premier League goalscorer by netting a stoppage-time winner against Newcastle on August 25, 2025 (ABC, Wikipedia, Afrik-Foot, Al Jazeera).
- He previously made his debut for Liverpool in the FA Cup, becoming the club’s youngest-ever FA Cup starter at 16 years and 135 days (This Is Anfield, Wikipedia).
- His transfer from Chelsea sparked legal disputes over compensation, echoing past youth transfer cases (FourFourTwo, The Times).
- Some clubs, including Real Madrid, are reportedly monitoring his progress following his breakthrough performances (Sportskeeda, TalkSport, The Times).
If you’re looking for the genuine story behind the Salah quote—or if it’s part of a fan theory or fictional narrative—it would help if you could share where you saw that phrase. That way, I can help trace its origin or clarify the facts.
Curious to learn more about Ngumoha’s path, his playing style, or how Salah might genuinely feel about the youngster? Just let me know!
