Bayern Munich has been linked again to Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read. The young Dutch international is said to be a transfer candidate for the summer window, replacing what we all expect to be an outgoing player in Sacha Boey.
However, Boey could leave sooner than that. The report comes from Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia:
Givairo Read is on Bayern’s list to replace Sacha Boey, but for the summer – not January. Boey is allowed to leave the club this month. Bayern, however, would only entertain
a permanent departure for the Frenchman, not a loan deal [@altobelli13]
BFW Commentary
It’s great to see Bayern linked with a right-back and Read fits the profile. Young (19), dynamic, flourishing in an interesting league and an attacking profile that should fit Bayern to a tee. Will it work out? Obviously that is too soon to say but Read is the kind of player Bayern should be going after, and his two short seasons starting in the Eredivisie hopefully means his market value has not shot up just yet.
When reports surfaced last Fall linking the Bavarians to the Dutchman, it was said that his price would be €25-35M. That seems reasonable and is right in line with the player he would be in line to replace — a reminder that sometimes, these moves just do not work out. Boey, Bouna Sarr, Álvaro Odriozola, even the short-lived tenure of Noussair Mazraoui…the German record champions have not had a brilliant track record of signing right-backs that stick.
While Bayern could honestly use cover in the position if Boey were to leave, in Read’s case, he is better served staying at Feyenoord and getting regular playing time. Just expect the Bavarians to not be the only club calling in the summer.
