Givairo Read Transfer from Feyenoord to FC Bayern München
Givario Read, a right-back from Feyenoord, is of high interest to Bayern Munich. In an interview with the German branch of Sky Sports regarding possible winter reinforcements, sports director Christopher Freund said that they have learned in football to never rule anything out completely, but a move is not planned. He explained this is because the team is well-positioned and very important players are returning, including Hiroki Ito, Jamal Musiala, and hopefully Alphonso Davies.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are expected to compete with Bayern Munich for 19-year-old Feyenoord standout Givairo Read, with the club hoping to make the Dutch player their right back for the long-term future.
A transfer fee of 25 to 35 million euros is being discussed for Dutch U19 European champion Givairo Read. Bayern Munich are very interested in the 19-year-old and have already held talks with his representatives.
BILD reported that a top delegation from Bayern Munich was in Stuttgart last Thursday to watch Givairo Read. The publication also stated that while interest in the Feyenoord back is significant, a transfer is conditional on Bayern Munich first selling defender Sacha Boey. Furthermore, BILD estimates Read's transfer value is approximately 20 million euros.
Feyenoord director Dennis te Kloese has stated that no official bid has been made for Givairo Read and there are no ongoing talks with clubs regarding the player's reported link with Bayern Munich. The director of the Rotterdam club acknowledged that the right-back is being closely monitored. Te Kloese added that big clubs attend their matches. It is expected that scouts for the nineteen-year-old will also be present on Thursday evening when Feyenoord plays an away match against VfB Stuttgart in the Europa League.
According to Voetbalpraat, it would be difficult for Givairo Read to refuse if Bayern Munich shows interest. Kees Kwakman comments that he would understand if Read takes the opportunity to move to a top club like Bayern Munich. Sky Sports estimates his transfer value at 25 million to 35 million euro.
Givairo Read has been identified by Bayern Munich as a priority target for 2026. According to reports from Germany, the club's sporting directors, Christoph Freund and Max Eberl, have already initiated contacts with Read's representatives, signaling their intention to acquire one of Europe's most promising young defenders.
According to De Telegraaf, scouts from Bayern Munich have taken note of Givairo Read's performances, and the interest from Bayern is so well established that it is known in the Feyenoord dressing room. Givairo Read said that jokes are being made and that they suddenly talk German to him and do similar things, adding that it is nice to see.
According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich are looking to reinforce the right-back position with a player who can become a regular in the coming years. Florian Plettenberg reports that the club, with Max Eberl, is exploring a deal to sign 19-year-old Dutch defender Givairo Read, who is considered one of their preferred targets. Talks between the relevant parties have already started. However, Bayern faces strong competition from several Premier League clubs for the Feyenoord player. He is under contract until 2029 and would require a significant transfer fee. Read joined Feyenoord in July 2024. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €20.00m. In the current Eredivisie season, he has made 9 appearances and provided 2 assists.
