Liverpool are monitoring Feyenoord’s Givairo Read after his productive form at the beginning of the season. The Dutch youngster is also attracting attention from Manchester City and Arsenal, as per latest transfer news.
Liverpool consider Givairo Read as right-back option
This season, Read has already made an impact in the Eredivisie by assisting five times in seven games**.** His attacking contribution has helped Feyenoord remain unbeaten, while his performances have kept several English clubs interested in his progress.
As reported by TEAMtalk, Liverpool have continued to track the 20-year-old after following him during the summer transfer window. Arsenal and Manchester City are also monitoring the defender, meaning the Reds could face competition if they decide to pursue a deal.
Read was close to leaving the Netherlands last summer. Nottingham Forest made a move for him, Everton were also interested. Roma were linked with him too. However, no deal was reached, and he stayed at Feyenoord.
Read has made a strong start to the new season. His form has put him back in the spotlight. Liverpool are now said to see him as a possible fix for their right-back problems. However, they have yet to make a confirmed bid.
Read could address Liverpool’s defensive concerns
Liverpool have had some issues at right-back this season. Jeremie Frimpong has had problems in finding steady form. This has led manager Andoni Iraola to play Ronald Araujo in the role in recent league games. Araujo is on loan from Barcelona and has done well at right-back. However, he is a centre-back by trade. Liverpool could also see him as a long-term option in the heart of their defence.
That leaves the club weighing up how to manage the position beyond the current run of games. Read’s attacking output could appeal to Liverpool as they assess potential reinforcements, particularly if they want another option who can contribute further up the pitch.
The Dutchman is still developing, so any move would involve more than simply adding immediate cover. A switch to the Premier League would be a major step, and Liverpool would need to decide whether he is ready to compete for a regular role or would benefit from a gradual introduction.
A January move is one possibility, but no formal approach has been confirmed. The next step will be based on whether Liverpool or their rivals choose to take concrete action.

Feyenoord star’s future remains open
For now, Read remains focused on Feyenoord, where his performances have strengthened his position as one of the club’s promising young players. His current form has got multiple English clubs interested.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are expected to keep monitoring his development as the season continues. A decision over a possible move may depend on their respective needs, as well as Feyenoord’s willingness to consider offers during the winter window.
Read is also set to join the Netherlands Under-21 squad for the European Championship qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia and Norway. International football will give him another opportunity to gain experience and maintain his momentum.
With five assists already to his name, Read has offered Feyenoord a creative threat from the back. His next performances could help determine whether the reported interest develops into a serious transfer pursuit. For Liverpool, the situation remains one to watch as they assess their right-back options.
