Attributed to original sourceGivairo Read and Feyenoord are considering a €25m offer from Roma, with Nottingham Forest also interested. ‘I want to consider a transfer if that opportunity arises.’
The right-back just celebrated his 20 th birthday last month and made a strong impression last season with two goals and three assists in 20 competitive games.
He came up through the Feyenoord youth academy, and is also on the radar for Nottingham Forest, so Roma are hoping that their €25m offer can prove sufficient to get a deal over the line quickly.

Meanwhile, Read spoke to Voetbal International in the Netherlands about his future.
“It’s not that I think I have to leave now because I’ve learned all I can here, that is certainly not the case,” said Read.
“I still have an awful lot to learn and I’ve only just turned 20. Having said that, I want to consider a transfer if that opportunity arises. You never know how many chances you get in life.
“If I don’t leave, then I will stay and I just want to play to win the title here. After that, the Dutch national team is the next step, I hope.”
The right-back can also play on the left when required, or in a more advanced role in Gian Piero Gasperini’s 3-4-3 formation.
He suffered from muscular injuries last season, ruling him out for much of 2026.
Meanwhile, Roma welcomed defender Konstantinos Koulierakis this afternoon, as he landed at the airport and will undergo his medical over the weekend.
It is a deal with Wolfsburg worth €16.5m plus add-ons and a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee.

What happened
According to Football Italia, a player currently has a €25m offer on the table from Roma while also attracting interest from Premier League side Nottingham Forest. The player has expressed a desire to evaluate the situation before making a decision on his future. The financial terms from Roma are concrete at €25m, while Nottingham Forest's interest appears to be at an earlier or exploratory stage. The player is weighing both options as he considers his next career move.
Chance analysis
This transfer saga involves a bidding situation between a Serie A club (Roma) with a concrete €25m offer and a Premier League club (Nottingham Forest) showing interest. The fact that the player wants to 'evaluate' suggests the decision is not yet made, meaning the selling club may have leverage to drive up the price or that the player is weighing sporting project, league appeal, and financial terms. For prediction systems, this signals potential squad turnover for whichever club signs the player, and a likely departure for the selling club. The lack of player name in the title makes full assessment difficult without reading the full article.
A potential €25m sale or signing that would reshape the attacking/midfield options for whichever club completes the deal, with the selling club gaining transfer funds.
