Liverpool’s interest in Givairo Read is worth watching because the circumstances surrounding the Feyenoord right back may be changing.

According to Dutch outlet FR Fans, Feyenoord could face difficult decisions in January because of their financial position, with Read and midfielder Gjivai Zechiel attracting considerable Premier League attention.

For Liverpool, who continue to assess their options at right back under Andoni Iraola, that potentially creates an opportunity.

Read has developed quickly since joining Feyenoord from FC Volendam in 2023. Still only 20, the Dutch defender has become a regular under Giovanni van Bronckhorst and is contracted until 2029.

His attacking production immediately catches the eye. Read has supplied four assists from seven league appearances this season, including three against PEC Zwolle, while he has also started in the Champions League against Barcelona.

Liverpool are reportedly scouting him regularly, with Arsenal and Manchester City also monitoring his progress.

That competition matters. Young full backs capable of contributing in possession, carrying an attacking threat and surviving at Champions League level tend to attract plenty of attention.

FR Fans report that Feyenoord technical director Dévy Rigaux has acknowledged that the club’s financial circumstances are less comfortable than supporters might imagine.
