Bayern Munich no longer interested in Dutch full-back

"The priority for Bayern in the full-back department is the right-back position. As things stand, Konrad Laimer is the only natural right-back in the squad. Josip Stanisic can do a job in this role, but he is much better on the left side of the back four. Sacha Boey left Bayern on loan in January due to a lack of game time. He is expected to leave Munich permanently in the summer."

"To strengthen the right-back position, Bayern had identified Givairo Read from Feyenoord as a possible addition. The Dutch right-back has been heavily linked with a move to Munich throughout the season. However, it does look like Die Roten's interest has cooled down. As per Sky Sports in Germany (via iMiaSanMia), Bayern are not actively pursuing a move for Read."

"The report from the German media outlet suggested that midfield and attack are priorities for the record Bundesliga champions. Read has also attracted interest from Manchester City. Earlier this season, reports in Germany suggested Bayern had already held talks with the defender's representatives and opened negotiations with Feyenoord. However, it does look like Bayern have cooled their interest."

"The young Dutch full-back has endured a difficult season due to injuries. It does look like a change of priorities in the transfer market, and Read's injuries may have put the transfer to Bayern on the back burner. Bayern need two full-backs this summer. The Bundesliga champions certainly need additions in the midfield and attack. However"

Bayern Munich’s senior squad needs defensive strengthening after conceding too many goals. Central defense is considered settled with Dayot Upamecano on a new deal, and Bayern are unlikely to sign another central defender unless Kim Min-jae or Hiroki Ito leave. The main focus is full-back positions, particularly right-back. Konrad Laimer is the only natural option, while Josip Stanisic is better suited to the left side and Sacha Boey is expected to leave permanently after a loan. Bayern had been linked with Feyenoord’s Givairo Read, but they are not actively pursuing him, with midfield and attack prioritized. Read has also drawn interest from Manchester City, and injuries have likely reduced Bayern’s urgency.
