Roma's urgent need for defensive reinforcements stems from Zeki Celik's recent departure. The Turkey international joined Juventus on a free transfer after his contract with the Roman club expired on June 30.
At just 20 years old, Read has also caught the attention of Inter, though the Nerazzurri are yet to make an official approach. The Dutch defender enjoyed a productive campaign last season, contributing two goals and three assists in 20 appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Roma are closing in on further summer reinforcements. Bologna striker Santiago Castro successfully completed his medical examinations yesterday ahead of an imminent announcement.
