Overview
- Manchester City, which were linked Thursday by a Sky Sports report, are weighing a summer move for Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read.
- Bayern Munich are also tracking the Netherlands Under-21 defender, setting up competition between two European heavyweights.
- City want a specialist so Matheus Nunes can return to midfield after covering at right-back, with Kyle Walker’s exit and Rico Lewis preferring midfield sharpening the need.
- Read, 19, has impressed in the Eredivisie with pace, 60% aerial and 61% ground duel success, and three assists in 12 league games, suiting Pep Guardiola’s inverted full-back style.
- Read is carrying a slight injury, and reports say scouts will monitor him on his return, with no formal bids or negotiations reported so far.
