Roma's €25 million push for Read tests Feyenoord ahead of Wales camp

Roma are desperate to plug a chronic weakness on the right flank and have offered a €25 million bid plus €3 million in bonuses to Feyenoord for 2006‑born right‑back Read Givairo Read, hoping to complete the move before their training camp in Wales.

The Italian side believes Read's profile fits the tactical shift planned by manager Gian Piero Gasperini. Gasperini is set to implement a new system that demands full‑backs with specific attributes.

Read’s qualities as a full‑back align with that system, making him a priority target for the Giallorossi. The club has struggled to fill the right flank in recent seasons, limiting tactical flexibility.

Tony D’Amico is pushing to finalise the deal within hours, aiming to deliver another signing for Gasperini during the team’s training camp in Wales.

Roma cap Read bid at €28m, eye Molina or Fresneda instead

Il Messaggero an agreement has already been reached with the 2006‑born defender and that the terms have been accepted. A five‑year contract worth €2.5 million per season is on the table.

Interest from Nottingham Forest has cooled in recent hours, leaving Roma as the leading suitor. The English club’s renewed interest has not materialised, further clearing the path for the Italian side.

Feyenoord rejected Roma’s initial offer of €23 million plus €2 million in bonuses, deeming it insufficient against their €30 million valuation of the full‑back.

Roma responded with a revised bid of €25 million plus €3 million in bonuses and indicated they are not prepared to increase the offer further, hoping the final push will persuade Feyenoord to accept.

If the agreement is concluded before the Wales camp ends, Roma will secure a player who matches their tactical evolution and strengthens a weak area. Feyenoord would receive a substantial fee, while Read would move to his first‑choice destination in Italy, adding urgency to the final negotiations.
