Roma is eagerly waiting for Feyenoord’s final decision regarding the transfer of Givairo Read. The young full-back remains the club’s top priority to bolster their right flank. Tony D’Amico, Roma’s sporting director, is keen to expedite the negotiation process and hopes to finalize the deal within the next few hours. This move would enable Gian Piero Gasperini to bolster his team during their training camp in Wales.
A preliminary agreement has already been struck between Roma and Read, according to Il Messaggero. The Italian side is offering a five-year contract worth €2.5 million per season. Moreover, the 2006-born player has publicly stated that Roma is his preferred destination. However, Nottingham Forest has emerged as a potential competitor, and their interest appears to have diminished recently.
The only remaining hurdle is Feyenoord. The Dutch club adamantly rejected Roma’s initial proposal of €23 million, along with €2 million in bonuses, considering it inadequate compared to their valuation of €30 million for the full-back. Roma, undeterred by this setback, has since raised their offer to €25 million, coupled with €3 million in bonuses. At present, it seems unlikely that Roma will be willing to increase their bid further, as they hope this final offer will secure a definitive agreement with Read.
