Givairo Read, the 20‑year‑old right back of Feyenoord, is now the focus of a €25 million offer from Serie A club AS Roma, while his Dutch side values him at roughly €30 million. The bid marks the latest development in a market that has already seen several clubs circle the Dutch defender.

AS Roma, representing Italy’s Serie A, has placed a first bid of around €25 million for Read. The Italian side’s offer signals a serious intent to bring the Feyenoord defender to the capital.
Interest also comes from the Premier League, where Nottingham Forest has submitted a proposal that falls short of the Dutch club’s expectations. The Forest bid, part of the broader Premier League market, remains lower than Roma’s offer.
Earlier, clubs from the French Ligue 1 expressed curiosity, but Read has indicated he is not eager to move to France at this stage. The French interest adds another layer to the multi‑league pursuit.
Feyenoord seeks approximately €30 million for the right back and trainer Giovanni van Bronckhorst views him as one of the captains for the upcoming season. De club remains reluctant to lose the player despite the offers.
Should the transfer to Rome materialise, Read would join fellow Dutchmen Devyne Rensch and Donyell Malen at AS Roma, creating a familiar trio in Italy’s capital. The prospect of reuniting with compatriots adds appeal to the move.
