Liverpool have scouted many Dutch stars in the past. Players like Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch arrived from Dutch football.
The quality of footballing presence shown by the players of that league has, at times, amazed numerous big teams. Liverpool have built a strong reputation for developing young players.
The club’s recent success under Jurgen Klopp and now Arne Slot has made it attractive. Their attacking style and passionate fanbase also appeal to ambitious young talents like Read.

Dutch star Givairo Read adhered to the Reds
Feyenoord’s 18-year-old right-back, Givairo Read, has made his club preference clear. When asked to choose between Manchester United and Manchester City, his response was unexpected.
“Liverpool, for sure! Nothing else, no one else,” Read said according to OneFootball.
Read is considered one of Feyenoord’s most promising young defenders. His performances in the Eredivisie have attracted interest from top European clubs.
Many expected him to admire either Manchester club, but he chose Liverpool instead. If Read were to join Liverpool, he would face competition.
Trent Alexander-Arnold remains one of the world’s best right-backs. However, Liverpool might look for young backups to prepare for the future. Read could be an exciting option for the club.
Fans react to his comment
Liverpool supporters welcomed Read’s words with excitement. Many praised his passion for the club despite never playing in England. Manchester United and City fans, however, showed disappointment on social media.
If Read continues to impress, a move to Anfield could be realistic. Feyenoord would demand a significant fee for their talented youngster.
Givairo Read’s declaration has sparked discussions about his future. Whether Liverpool move for him remains uncertain. However, his admiration for the club is now clear.
