Bayern Munich forgoes Givairo Read, opts for Nathaniel Brown this summer

Bayern Munich has decided not to pursue a transfer for Feyenoord full-back Givairo Read, citing his injury history and high asking price. The club opted instead to sign Nathaniel Brown, who impressed during the recent World Cup. Reports indicate that Bayern's midfield is currently well-stocked, limiting their interest in other targets like Santos midfielder Gabriel Bontempo until they offload players. Bayern is likely to focus on sales before considering further signings.
