Roma's Feyenoord Talent Hopes Fade, Club Turns to Argentine from Atletico

AS Roma has reportedly lost hope in their pursuit of Feyenoord's right-back, Givairo Read, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

The Giallorossi had submitted a second offer for the 20-year-old talent, valued at €25 million plus €3 million in add-ons, and were awaiting a response from the Dutch giants. While a positive reply isn't expected at the Stadio Olimpico, the player's agents are still attempting to lower Feyenoord's demands.

In the meantime, Roma has already shifted their focus to another player for the same position. Nahuel Molina is now their primary target, with Di Marzio and Matteo Moretto reporting that an offer totaling €17 million has been made. The Argentine international had previously caught the eye of coach Gian Piero Gasperini during his tenure at Atalanta. Therefore, Roma is prepared to bring him into their squad if negotiations for Read ultimately fall through.
