Overview
- Reports on Friday say Bayern remain highly interested in 20-year-old Givairo Read and view a winter approach as possible if they move Sacha Boey and create room in the squad.
- Bayern passed on signing Read in the summer not because of sporting doubts but because they could not find a buyer for Boey and had limited transfer budget to spend.
- Read has boosted his market profile with a strong start to the 2026–27 season, supplying multiple assists and drawing fresh attention from top clubs.
- Other clubs, including several from the English top flight, have been tracking Read and Feyenoord reportedly rejected a roughly €22 million offer from Nottingham Forest in the summer.
- Earlier talks with Bayern were once concrete but collapsed after Read suffered long thigh muscle setbacks, so any new move would hinge on medical checks, a January sale of Boey, and agreement on a fee that clubs previously valued at about €25 million.
