Bayern Hold Initial Talks as Arsenal, Man City Scout Feyenoord’s Givairo Read

Feyenoord’s 2029 contract leaves the seller in control, making a midseason deal difficult.

Overview

  • German reports say Bayern directors Max Eberl and Christoph Freund are personally pursuing the 19-year-old right-back.
  • Dutch and UK reports add that Arsenal and Manchester City have sent scouts to monitor the Netherlands U21 international ahead of January.
  • Read has 47 senior appearances with four goals and 11 assists, building on a breakout 2024–25 and a strong start this season.
  • Arsenal’s interest is linked to depth at right-back, with reports citing Ben White’s fitness and form concerns and a desire to ease Jurrien Timber’s workload.
  • Despite interest and an estimated €20m market value, Feyenoord’s leverage and competing bidders point to a high fee or a move deferred to summer, as Read says he is comfortable at the club.
