Bayern Munich are set to face stiff competition from the Premier League for Feyenoord star Givairo Read, TEAMtalk understands, as the right-back’s performances attract serious attention. The 19-year-old is emerging as one of football’s hottest prospects, and a switch to one of Europe’s biggest leagues looks likely for him in the near future.

TEAMtalk sources close to the situation confirm Bayern’s keen admiration for Read, viewing him as a long-term successor in their defensive ranks. The Bundesliga giants are preparing to test Feyenoord’s resolve, but they face stiff competition from England.

The legendary former striker, now at the helm in Rotterdam, has showered praise on the youngster’s maturity. “Givairo plays like he’s been in the first team for years,” Van Persie recently said. “His decision-making and leadership are exceptional for his age.” This trust is evident: Read has become a staple in Feyenoord’s lineup, contributing to their push at the Eredivisie summit. Despite the external buzz, Feyenoord are digging in. Read penned a contract extension in April, tying him to De Kuip until summer 2029 – a clear signal of the club’s ambition to build around homegrown talent. Officials hope to retain him until at least the summer of 2026, allowing further development in a competitive environment before any big-money move. But as the January transfer window approaches, Read’s future hangs in the balance. Bayern’s resources could tempt Feyenoord, but Premier League allure – higher wages, global exposure – might sway the player. For now, the teenager remains focused on domestic glory, but his trajectory suggests a blockbuster transfer is inevitable. Feyenoord fans will savor his contributions while they last, knowing Europe’s elite are circling.
