Roma have still not agreed a deal with Feyenoord for Givairo Read, with reports the offer of €28m plus add-ons was rejected, but negotiations will continue. The Giallorossi had hoped that their most recent proposal at €28m plus a 10 per cent cut of the future sale fee would suffice. However, this evening Voetbal International and Sky Sport Italia both confirm that it has been turned down by Feyenoord. Read will cost €30m this summer The asking price remains €30m, and with interest also from Nottingham Forest, they believe that this fee can be achieved. Roma are not giving up, and negotiations are set to continue, including over commission and various bonuses to bump up the figure. Read has already agreed personal terms with the Serie A side, and is eager to join Gian Piero Gasperini’s team in the Champions League. The right-back turned 20 in June and can also play on the left when required. He scored two goals and provided three assists in 20 competitive games for Feyenoord last season. The opening bid had been €25m, so this was an improvement, but not enough to satisfy the Dutch team.
