Roma Sets €28m Price Cap for Givairo Read, Considering Molina or Fresneda
Roma appears unwilling to exceed a €25 million offer plus €3 million in potential add-ons for Givairo Read, as Feyenoord continues to negotiate the transfer fee. If their bid is ultimately rejected, the Italian club is prepared to shift its focus to alternative targets, namely Nahuel Molina or Ivan Fresneda.
The Giallorossi had their initial €25 million offer turned down by Feyenoord and have reportedly increased their proposal in the last 48 hours. However, according to reports from Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, Roma's maximum offer is capped at €25 million base fee, with an additional €3 million in add-ons and a percentage of any future sale.
This stance is further reinforced by a previous report from Voetbal International, which indicated that an offer totaling €28 million, plus a 10% cut of any future sale, had already been rejected by Feyenoord. The Dutch club is reportedly seeking €30 million for the promising right-back, who is set to celebrate his 21st birthday soon. Roma's unwillingness to meet this valuation could potentially leave the door open for other clubs, such as Nottingham Forest, to re-enter the race for Read.
In anticipation of a potential failure to secure Read's signature, Roma has compiled a list of alternative players for the right-back position. This list includes Nahuel Molina, formerly of Udinese and currently with Atletico Madrid, as well as Ivan Fresneda, who plays for Sporting CP.
English Translation:
Roma Sets €28m Limit for Read, Ready for Molina or Fresneda Instead
Roma does not seem prepared to push their offer for Givairo Read above €25m plus €3m add-ons to Feyenoord, so could turn to Nahuel Molina or Ivan Fresneda instead.
The Giallorossi saw their opening €25m bid rejected, then bumped it up over the last 48 hours.
Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia both claim the limit for the Roma proposal is going to be €25m plus €3m in add-ons and a percentage of the future sale fee.
If that is rejected too, then they are prepared to look at other targets.
This is a very distinct possibility for the Italians, because Voetbal International already stated last night that an offer worth a total €28m plus 10 per cent cut of future sale had already been turned down.
Feyenoord are asking for €30m to sell the right-back who turns 21 in a few weeks, and Roma are not prepared to hit that figure, so could leave the door open for Nottingham Forest to come back in.
They have a list of alternatives for the role, including Atletico Madrid’s former Udinese man Nahuel Molina, and Fresneda of Sporting CP.
