Milan target Givairo Read to reinforce defence in January

Milan are looking for a right-back for the January transfer window.

The latest name on the red-and-black club's list is Givairo Read.

Read's journey in the Netherlands

The Feyenoord player is one of the most interesting Dutch prospects for Xavi Hernandez, which the red-and-black club will also monitor during the international break. Read rose to prominence in the Italian press when, in a match against Milan, he scored and stopped Rafael Leão in great form. Last summer the defender was closely pursued by Roma. The yellow-and-red club tried to take him away from the Rotterdam side after Zeki Celik moved to Juventus. Milan's attention then shifted elsewhere, with Nahuel Molina chosen for the full‑back, but Read remained among the hottest names on the executives' desk.

Endrick wants to move in January, Roma and Milan race for €60 million

Now Read is hot again for the Italian market. Last summer Inter also considered the move to replace Denzel Dumfries. Milan are looking for a player in the position because Fikayo Tomori remains a potential departure and coach Ruben Amorim has asked for reinforcement in the role. Read is appealing for his potential and the contribution he could make immediately. It is necessary to convince Feyenoord that for less than 30 million they might not let the player go.
