A battle may await Manchester City to sign an impressive young right-back | OneFootball

A safe bet ahead of the summer transfer window is that Manchester City will sign a right-back. Matheus Nunes has become Manchester City’s first-choice right-back, and the Portuguese international’s performances this season could see City target a young right-back to compete with Matheus Nunes for minutes next season. One player who fits that bill is Feyenoord’s impressive young right-back Givairo Read. The young right-back is a player who could slot into Pep Guardiola’s squad and compete for minutes with Matheus Nunes while developing as a player. However, City may face a battle to sign Givairo Read if he is the right-back that City want to buy this summer.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City may battle it out to sign Givairo Read this summer.

First of all, Lyall Thomas has reported for Sky Sports that Manchester City are closely monitoring Feyenoord’s young right-back Givairo Read. Furthermore, Thomas reports that City are not assured to sign a right-back this summer. Givairo Read is a player that City have an interest in signing if they do decide to sign a right-back this summer. Lastly, Thomas reports that Bayern Munich are also interested in signing Givairo Read.

Christian Falk has also reported for CF Bayern Insider that Bayern Munich and Manchester City both have an interest in signing Givairo Read. Furthermore, Falk reports that Bayern have been interested in signing Read for some time. However, Bayern do not want to pay more than €30 million for the Dutch right-back. It is also reported that Manchester City’s interest in signing Givairo Read could complicate Bayern Munich’s potential summer move for Read.

City may have to sell their vision to Givairo Read to trump Bayern Munich.

Givairo Read is an impressive young right-back who would fit the profile of Manchester City. Read’s passing, dribbling, and crossing are major weapons in his game. The young right-back has tremendous technical ability and would immediately slot into a Pep Guardiola side. Defensively, Read reads the game exceptionally well, and he is strong in a challenge for a smaller player. Givairo Read also covers the pitch exceptionally well; however, he has had injury issues this season. Given that Givairo Read is only 19 years of age, he has scope to improve as a player, and hopefully, he can overcome the injury issues he has faced this season as he physically matures.

If Manchester City are to win a potential battle with Bayern Munich to sign Givairo Read this summer, they’ll have to sell their vision of where he will fit into Pep Guardiola’s squad. The young full-back will want to play in an environment where he can learn and grow as a player. Playing under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City may be the ideal scenario for the Dutch right-back. It will be up to Hugo Viana and company to convince Read of this if City make a summer move for a right-back who has the potential to become a very good player.

Manchester City continues to monitor Feyenoord’s impressive young right-back Givairo Read. However, Bayern Munich do loom in the race to sign Read. City could face a battle with Bayern to sign to convince Read to move to the Etihad. If they can win that, City may well sign a player who could develop into their first-choice right-back in time.
