Roma present ultimatum to Feyenoord over Givairo Read as talks intensify

Source: Roma News

Roma have accelerated their pursuit of Feyenoord winger Givairo Read by submitting a take-it-or-leave-it offer of €29 million to the Dutch club. Read has agreed to join Roma on a five-year contract, rejecting competition from Nottingham Forest and attracted by the prospect of Champions League football and a leading role under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The Roma manager's personal phone call and the work of director Tony D'Amico proved decisive in winning over the Netherlands international.

With the player's backing secured, Roma are confident of concluding the deal in the coming days despite recent transfer setbacks. Once the right-wing position is resolved, the club intends to focus its full attention on acquiring Antonio Nusa, the Norwegian forward Roma want from Leipzig. The strategy is to narrow the financial gap with Leipzig while banking on Nusa's strong desire to move to Rome.

AS Roma are pursuing Feyenoord winger Givairo Read with increasing intensity as negotiations accelerate toward a conclusion. The player has already agreed personal terms with Roma, reportedly swayed by head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's direct involvement and the promise of Champions League football ahead of competing offers from Nottingham Forest. However, the outlets differ on key figures: Roma News reports an ultimatum of €29 million, while Forza Roma cites an initial €25 million offer with plans to raise it to €30 million including add-ons. All sources agree Roma hope to finalize the deal by the weekend, though Feyenoord have not yet accepted and are resisting the initial bids. Nottingham Forest remain in contention with a lower offer but more lucrative wages. Beyond Read, Roma intend to pursue Antonio Nusa, a Norwegian forward at Leipzig, once the wing-back position is resolved. The outlets note Feyenoord are preparing contingency plans, with one report indicating they are exploring a return for right-back Geertruida from RB Leipzig as a potential replacement.

Angeliño to complete Deportivo La Coruña medical tomorrow

Angeliño is departing AS Roma after two and a half years. The Spanish left-back will undergo a medical with Deportivo La Coruña on 4 August, initially scheduled in La Coruña but now to take place in Florence where Roma are playing a friendly against Fiorentina. Angeliño will join the newly promoted Liga side this evening ahead of the Florence fixture. The transfer is structured as a loan with an obligation to buy set at €2.5 million. Gasperini has opted to move Angeliño on after the player failed to impress during the early stages of pre-season. Last season was hampered by injuries for the 1997-born defender, who began his professional career at Deportivo and will now return to the club where he first made his mark in the game. The operation concludes Roma's pursuit of alternatives in the left-back area as Gasperini shapes his squad for the 2026–27 campaign. Angeliño, who joined Roma in May 2024, departs as the club's number 3.

Roma Eye Real Madrid Forwards Endrick and Mastantuono

Roma are targeting Real Madrid pair Endrick and Franco Mastantuono to strengthen their attacking line, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini explicitly requesting two additional forwards despite the recent arrival of Santiago Castro. According to Alfredo Pedullà, the Giallorossi have been monitoring the Brazilian Endrick for a month but are unlikely to move quickly on either target. Roma plan to address the left wing first with signings such as Antonio Nusa, with the ongoing uncertainty around Matías Soulé—who has been available for transfer throughout the summer but remains at the club—also affecting the timing of any striker acquisition. Roma are competing with Fiorentina for Mastantuono, while Endrick has interest from clubs abroad. Both players could arrive on loan or via a formula similar to Nico Paz's arrangement. Endrick carries a €45–50 million price tag. Roma harbour tactical concerns about the 20-year-old; he is neither a pure winger nor a number 10 and performs best as a false-nine, sharing characteristics with Donyell Malen and Castro, though he could be developed into a different role. He recorded 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 fixtures for Olympique Lyonnais last season. The club has noted that a loan deal carries inherent risks, as such arrangements typically benefit only second-tier clubs by developing players who may not return.
