Overview
- Roma lodged a reported €25 million proposal for 20-year-old right-back Givairo Read, and a Roma delegation planned to travel to Rotterdam to advance talks following that bid.
- Feyenoord has not accepted the €25m as a straight cash fee and has tabled a counter-offer focused on instalments, add-ons and bonus structure rather than headline price.
- Nottingham Forest remain interested after earlier rejected bids, but sources say their offers are not currently as concrete as Roma’s approach.
- Read has said he is calm and focused on Feyenoord while remaining open to a move if the fit feels right, and reports suggest he has reached personal terms with Roma pending a club agreement.
- Feyenoord’s contract leverage — Read signed an extension in April 2025 running to mid-2029 — gives the club the option to keep him another season if clubs will not meet their payment demands.
