€20 million Forest bid for Read puts Feyenoord’s decision under pressure

€20 million is the total sum Nottingham Forest has offered for right‑back Givairo Read, a figure disclosed by Fabrizio Romano today at 14:47, and it would represent the amount Feyenoord could earn if the club accepts the bid, with the player reportedly open to the move.

FR12 reported earlier that Feyenoord had received a second offer for Read. The first Nottingham Forest bid was reported at roughly €17.5 million, while the newly disclosed Forest-bod totals €20 million, likely including bonuses. The exact reaction of Feyenoord to the figure remains unknown.

It will be up to Feyenoord’s technical director Dévy Rigaux, referred to in the report as De, to decide how to respond to the new proposal. No official statement from the club has been released regarding its position on the offer.

Romano added that negotiations directly with Read are expected to proceed smoothly and should not present obstacles for Nottingham.

Read, a 20‑year‑old right‑back, is under a three‑year contract with Feyenoord and has indicated he is open to a summer move. His status as a Netherlands U21 international was also noted.

Earlier rumours linked Manchester City and Bayern Munich with interest in the defender, though a recent report indicated Bayern currently does not prioritise strengthening the right‑back position.
