Bayern Munich no longer pursuing Feyenoord's Givairo Read

"Feyenoord defender Givairo Read has long been a transfer target for Bayern Munich, but it doesn't look like any progress is being made on that front as the German Rekordmeister's transfer priorities seem to be elsewhere for this summer."

"Per information from Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg (via @iMiaSanMia), Read is no longer a transfer subject for Bayern as nothing has progressed with the 19-year-old. All of the focus for right now is being placed on Bayern's other transfer targets, with the attack and midfield being the primary focus."

"Despite the club having maintained interest in him for quite some time, there's been no advancements and Feyenoord would not want to let him go for anything less than €30 million, which is a price that Bayern were already skeptical of. Additionally, much like the case for Hertha BSC's Eichhorn, Manchester City are also in the picture for Read and certainly have more financial flexibility, making them a much more suitable buyer for Feyenoord, who don't want to budge on their minimum of €30 million valuation of their defender."

"Either way, Read himself had revealed last weekend that the draw against AZ Alkmaar very well could've been his last home match with Feyenoord, as he is more than well aware of the interest in him from numerous clubs. While Bayern is out of the mix for now, he could still"

Bayern Munich has not made progress in signing Feyenoord defender Givairo Read and has removed him from current transfer consideration. Bayern’s summer focus centers on other targets, especially in attack and midfield, while also planning for departures that create multiple gaps after Nicolas Jackson returns to Chelsea and Leon Goretzka and Raphaël Guerreiro leave. Defensive reinforcements remain a possible area of interest, but it is not the top priority. Feyenoord would not accept less than €30 million for Read, a valuation Bayern has been skeptical about. Manchester City also shows interest, with greater financial flexibility, making them a more suitable buyer. Read has indicated a home match against AZ Alkmaar could be his last at Feyenoord.
