"Almost criminal" – Journalist raging, Nottingham Forest transfer efforts should have been welcomed

Journalist Kenneth Perez criticises Feyenoord for rejecting a reported €30m offer from Nottingham Forest for right-back Givairo Read, though the club denies receiving any formal bid.

Journalist Kenneth Perez has criticised Feyenoord's transfer strategy after the Dutch club reportedly turned down interest from Nottingham Forest and Roma for 20-year-old right-back Givairo Read. Reports suggested both clubs were willing to pay €30m for the rising talent, but Feyenoord rejected the advances. Perez called the decision "almost criminal" on ESPN's Voetbalpraat, arguing the fee was substantial for a right-back. However, Feyenoord director of football Devy Rigaux has disputed the claims, insisting no formal bid of that value was received.
