Bayern Munich is currently in the market for a talented full-back, considering that the club might have issues both with current injuries and probable departures next season. One of their transfer targets include 19-year old youth talent — Givairo Read.
Per a report captured by Florian Plettenberg, Bayern have already begun talks with Read’s camp, as he is definitely one of their priorities. Although Max Eberl may have gotten a head start, there is some strong competition coming out of England, as it looks like “several” Premier League teams had the same idea as Bayern.
Read is currently under contract with Dutch team Feyenoord Rotterdam for the next 4 years, until 2029. If Feyenoord values Givairo and his talents, it might take a little more than niceties during negotiations to acquire his signature. There is hope for this transfer, as Eberl triggered the negotiations quite early on, meaning that there’s probably more to this interest than just media noise. Read is touted for his ability to join the attacking efforts with ease, and provide real contributions to the final third. He could potentially make a good replacement for Sacha Boey, should he leave (like the fans really want him to…).
Signing Givairo Read would be a part of Eberl’s plan for restructuring the squad as a long term strategy, adding more youth to the team. However, considering that this 19-year old won’t exactly come cheap, would it be worth it? Let us know in the comments!
With the midweek DFB-Pokal match out of the way, Bayern Munich returns its focus to the Bundesliga.
In this instance, the animosity in the board room might be greater than what we will see on the pitch as Bayer Leverkusen will make the trip to the Allianz Arena to square off with league leaders.
While Bayer Leverkusen has made a strong turnaround from where it was at the beginning of the season, this group is still far from Xabi Alonso’s group of “wonder boys”, who won the Bundesliga two years ago.
Let’s dive into this match and break it all down. This is what we have on tap for the next edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show:
