A tribunal set Liverpool’s non-negotiable compensation to Chelsea for Ngumoha’s academy development at £2.8m, potentially rising by £4m in add-ons, plus a sell-on profit percentage. Because Ngumoha moved as a youth player from Chelsea’s academy to Liverpool, training compensation applied and was decided by a Professional Football Compensation Committee tribunal. The total can rise to £6.8m if add-ons trigger, and Chelsea also receive 20% of any future profit on a sale.

Liverpool are set to offer Rio Ngumoha his first professional contract after his match-winning strike against Newcastle, but Chelsea are pushing for sizeable compensation, triggering a legal battle under Premier League regulations. Ngumoha turns 17 this Friday. Chelsea argue Ngumoha’s rapid rise at Liverpool warrants higher compensation. With no standard fee for academy transfers, the case will be decided by a committee. Liverpool remain confident of retaining the forward, who joined from Chelsea last year.
