Roma Await Feyenoord's Final Decision as Givairo Read Transfer Nears Conclusion

AS Roma are expecting Feyenoord's definitive response today regarding their bid for Givairo Read, with the transfer now entering what could be its decisive stage. According to Il Messaggero, the Serie A club remain optimistic that an agreement can be reached after submitting an offer worth €25 million, including fixed payments and performance-related bonuses, while negotiations between the two clubs continue.

Roma already appear to have secured one of the most important pieces of the puzzle: the player's approval. The 20-year-old right-back is reported to have accepted the move after holding direct talks with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who personally presented the club's sporting project and the role Read would play in his system. Those discussions reportedly convinced the Dutch defender that Rome is the ideal destination for the next step in his career.

Competition for Read's signature has been fierce throughout the summer, with Nottingham Forest also pushing hard to sign the Feyenoord defender. The Premier League side were reportedly prepared to offer a higher salary than Roma, but recent reports suggest Read has made the Italian club his priority. Sources in Italy now believe Nottingham have fallen behind in the race, giving Roma a significant advantage as negotiations approach their conclusion.

Following the latest round of discussions—also confirmed by Fabrizio Romano—both clubs have continued working to resolve the remaining financial details. Confidence is growing inside the Italian club that the transfer can be completed soon, provided Feyenoord accept the final structure of the proposal. The coming hours are therefore expected to be crucial in determining whether Givairo Read becomes Roma's newest signing.

AS Roma Close to Agreement with Feyenoord for Givairo Read

Givairo Read's move to AS Roma appears to be entering its final stages, with the Serie A club preparing to submit what is expected to be its final offer for the 20-year-old Feyenoord right-back. According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, Roma are ready to make a decisive push in the coming hours as negotiations with the Dutch club accelerate toward a potential agreement.

The proposed package is reportedly worth €25 million, plus an additional €2–3 million in performance-related bonuses. That offer would bring Roma much closer to Feyenoord's valuation after weeks of negotiations. Technical director Dévy Rigaux previously rejected several approaches from Nottingham Forest, with reported bids ranging between €21 million and €23 million, insisting the club would only consider a significantly improved proposal. Roma's latest package now appears to meet most of Feyenoord's financial expectations.

Read himself is also believed to have made his choice. Multiple reports indicate that the Dutch defender has already reached a personal agreement with Roma and has given the Italian club his commitment. If the transfer is completed, Read is expected to sign a long-term contract that would earn him around €4 million per season, representing a significant step forward in his career.

With both the clubs and the player edging closer to a full agreement, the transfer now appears to be in its most decisive phase. Unless negotiations take an unexpected turn, Givairo Read looks increasingly likely to become the next Feyenoord player to make the switch to Serie A.

Van Bronckhorst Delivers Positive Watanabe Injury Update After Kuip Cup Win

Giovanni van Bronckhorst offered encouraging news on Tsuyoshi Watanabe after Feyenoord's Kuip Cup victory over Atalanta, confirming that the Japanese defender has not suffered a broken rib despite being forced off early in the match. The positive medical update eased concerns after Watanabe's painful collision in the opening minutes, allowing the coach to focus on preparations for next weekend's Eredivisie opener against Sparta Rotterdam.

Reflecting on the victory, Van Bronckhorst expressed satisfaction with Feyenoord's final pre-season performance. The head coach praised his team's ex*****on of the tactical ideas worked on throughout the summer, particularly their ability to build from the back and play through Atalanta's high press. "We played against a very good opponent, and I thought the things we've been working on were clearly visible, especially in the first half. We managed to play out from the pressure on several occasions, and we did that really well."

The only negative moment came with Watanabe's early injury, forcing Thijs Kraaijeveld into action. Fortunately, Van Bronckhorst was quick to reassure supporters. "The good news is that it's nothing serious. It's not a broken rib. He's in a lot of pain, but at least nothing is fractured." The coach also praised Kraaijeveld for stepping in seamlessly after already seeing minutes during pre-season.

Although Watanabe has avoided a fracture, his availability for next weekend's league opener remains uncertain. Van Bronckhorst explained that the defender will continue to be monitored throughout the week before a final decision is made. "We've been told nothing is broken, which is very positive. Now we'll have to see how he feels over the next few days. He's a very tough player, so we'll assess him during the week." Feyenoord will now hope one of their key defenders recovers in time for the start of the new campaign.

Calvin Stengs Opens Up on Feyenoord Exit: "After Two Games, They Told Me I Could Leave"

Former Feyenoord attacker Calvin Stengs has spoken candidly about his departure from the Rotterdam club, revealing that he was informed just two matches into pre-season that he was free to find a new team. The 27-year-old eventually terminated his contract by mutual agreement before completing an emotional return to AZ Alkmaar, where he believes he has found the perfect environment to restart his career.

Speaking to VoetbalPrimeur, Stengs explained that the decision came as a surprise but was handled professionally by both parties. "I started pre-season with Feyenoord, and after two games they told me I could look for another club. I actually thought I had played quite well, but in the end we agreed it was best for both sides to go in different directions." Despite the abrupt ending, the Dutch forward stressed that the separation was amicable.

Stengs also admitted that family considerations played a major role in choosing his next destination. Returning closer to home and to a familiar environment became a priority after leaving Rotterdam. "For me and my family, it was the best solution to play football closer to home again. You learn how football works as you get older. I still had a contract, but together we decided it was better if I moved on." He added that he did not approach AZ himself, explaining that discussions with the club only began three days after his Feyenoord contract was officially terminated.

Since returning to Alkmaar, Stengs has already impressed his new coaching staff. Head coach Leeroy Echteld recently praised the attacker's performances in training, and Stengs believes he has quickly rediscovered the enjoyment that has always driven his game. "I've always enjoyed football. In training I always want to win and fight for every ball. I think the coach is happy to have me here and to see me enjoying myself again." His comments suggest that the move back to AZ has given the talented playmaker the fresh start he was looking for.

Watanabe Suffers Injury Scare on Feyenoord Return Against Atalanta

Tsuyoshi Watanabe's long-awaited return to Feyenoord ended in disappointment after the Japanese defender was forced off with an injury during Sunday's Kuip Cup clash against Atalanta. Making his first appearance since returning from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Watanabe started alongside Jeremiah St. Juste in central defence but saw his afternoon cut short following a heavy collision early in the match.

The friendly against Atalanta was Feyenoord's final dress rehearsal before the start of the new season, making Watanabe's return an important moment after his extended summer with the Japanese national team. However, shortly after kick-off, the 28-year-old centre-back collided heavily with Atalanta striker Nikola Krstović while contesting the ball. The impact left Watanabe in visible pain as medical staff rushed onto the pitch to assess the situation.

Although he initially received treatment and attempted to continue, it quickly became apparent that the defender could not play on. Early reports suggested Watanabe had suffered injuries to his collarbone and ribs, prompting head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst to make an early substitution. Young defender Thijs Kraaijeveld was introduced to replace the Japanese international as Feyenoord were forced to reshuffle their back line.

The extent of Watanabe's injury has not yet been confirmed, and the club is expected to carry out further medical examinations in the coming hours. With Feyenoord's competitive season just around the corner, the hope in Rotterdam will be that the injury is not serious and that one of the team's key defenders can return to action as soon as possible.
