Roma Finalizing Deal for Feyenoord's Givairo Read for €29 Million
AS Roma is on the cusp of acquiring Givairo Read from Feyenoord, having submitted an offer of €25 million with an additional €4 million in performance-based bonuses. This move appears to have put them ahead of Nottingham Forest in the race for the player.
Reliable sources, including Sky Sport Italia, Retesport, and Fabrizio Romano, express strong confidence that an agreement between the two clubs is imminent, with the current day being crucial for finalizing the remaining details.
Negotiations are currently focused on the finer points of the payment structure and clauses, which are the last elements to be settled before Read receives clearance for his medical examination.
The initial asking price for the player was €30 million, but Roma's offer, reaching €29 million with add-ons, is now being considered.
It is understood that Coach Gian Piero Gasperini directly contacted Read to persuade him about the club's project, especially following Roma's qualification for the Champions League. Read has reportedly agreed to personal terms, with a five-year contract worth €2 million net per season, plus performance incentives, according to reports from Corriere dello Sport.
Read, who celebrated his 20th birthday in June, primarily operates as a right-back but is also capable of playing on the left flank. Given Gasperini's tactical approach, Read is expected to be deployed in a more advanced wing-back role.
