Liverpool monitor Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read amid interest from Man City and Arsenal

On 21 September 2026, Tuesday's transfer gossip stated that Liverpool are monitoring Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read, with Manchester City and Arsenal also reported to be interested. The collection of rumours appeared across several outlets on the same day and covered youth departures, contract talks and potential January targets.

Read is described as a 20-year-old Feyenoord right-back and a Netherlands U21 international, according to the report (Teamtalk). The gossip round-up compiled items from multiple sources including Teamtalk, the Mail, the Express, AS, Football Insider, The I and Mundo Deportivo, each contributing separate transfer-related stories.

Fifteen-year-old English forward JJ Gabriel is said to want to leave Old Trafford because he believes Manchester United are falling behind the heavyweights of European football, a report credited to the Mail states. Manchester United officials were reportedly surprised by the involvement of super agent Ali Barat after Barat arranged discussions with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich for Gabriel's family (Express).

Brazilian forward Raphinha, 29, has told those close to him that he wants to remain at Barcelona and initial talks have taken place regarding a new contract, with his present deal running until 2028, according to AS. The report frames the situation as the opening stage of negotiations rather than a completed agreement.

Tottenham have reportedly decided not to pursue a move for 33-year-old Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, who is available on a free transfer (Football Insider). Separately, Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa are both named as interested parties in Nacional's 18-year-old Paraguayan prospect Mauro Coronel (Teamtalk).

Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona plan to include a £428m (500m euro) buyout clause in the new contract they are offering to 19-year-old Spanish midfielder Marc Bernal. Football Insider adds that Liverpool attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, 23, would be interested in joining Bayern Munich if Bayern can reach an agreement with the Reds for the Germany international.

The column also notes that Newcastle will target a youthful centre-half and a right-sided forward in the January transfer window and beyond (The I). Those planned recruitment priorities were presented as the club’s stated objectives for upcoming transfer activity.
