Transfer coup? BVB door opens for top target | OneFootball

According to new statements from Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie, a real opportunity could arise for Borussia Dortmund in their pursuit of Quinten Timber. BVB can suddenly hope for a transfer coup once again.

Borussia Dortmund may have come a decisive step closer in their pursuit of Quinten Timber. The 24-year-old midfielder from Feyenoord Rotterdam is only under contract until the end of the season—and much suggests that there will be no extension. This increases BVB’s chances of signing a sought-after player on a free transfer in the summer. Even a move as early as this winter no longer seems entirely out of the question.

The topic has gained additional momentum due to statements from Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie, who recently spoke openly about the future of his key player. At a press conference, the Dutchman said: “We have been in talks with Timber for a year and a half, even before my time. If you ask me, I think it’s unlikely that he will extend. And that is his good right.”

Words that have surely been noted with interest in Dortmund. Timber has been considered a candidate for the central midfield for months, especially in light of the fact that BVB has a new need in the center after the departure of Pascal Groß. The versatile Dutchman brings not only defensive stability but also offensive qualities: in over 120 competitive matches, he has been directly involved in more than 35 goals.

Timber transfer: The door remains open for BVB

The market for Timber also seems to be moving internationally. Although he has been courted in Italy for some time, recent reports suggest that he has already turned down a move to Lazio Rome. At the same time, the eight-time international is said to be open to a move to the Bundesliga—a further plus for Dortmund.

For Timber himself, sporting prospects also play a role. After a serious knee injury, he recently missed important phases with the national team, and now he wants to recommend himself for bigger tournaments with strong performances. Appearances in the Champions League could be a decisive factor.

Whether BVB will act already in the winter or opt for a free transfer in the summer is still open. But one thing is clear: thanks to the latest signals from Rotterdam, the door for a move is more open than ever.
