Liverpool and City set sights on Feyenoord defender Givairo Read
Feyenoord's Givairo Read must supplement his defensive options, and the 19‑year‑old right‑back is seen by several top clubs as a winter solution. The Amsterdam wing‑back remains under contract until mid‑2029, but his value and potential attract intense interest for the club.
Interest from English top clubs
According to British transfer agent Graeme Bailey, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are closely following Givairo Read. The three clubs monitor the development of the young defender closely, each deploying its own scouting network.
In particular, The Reds see the Feyenoord right‑back as a short‑term reinforcement. The Amsterdammer is already considered a possible winter transfer, with Liverpool appearing convinced of his qualities.
Manchester City has previously been heavily linked with Read, although rumours of a possible move to Bayern Munich are also circulating. The English club continues to follow the player closely.
Last summer, AS Roma and Nottingham Forest made serious attempts to pry the nineteen‑year‑old wing‑back away. Both clubs showed interest, but no agreement was reached.
Read is still tied to Feyenoord until mid‑2029, meaning any transfer would require a substantial fee. So far, no concrete bid or ongoing negotiations have been reported.
Transfermarkt values the defender at €25 million. To date he has played 62 official matches for Feyenoord, delivering five goals and sixteen assists.
With the winter transfer window approaching, Read may soon be ready for talks with bigger clubs, with his contract length and market value being decisive factors.
