BVB target Quinten Timber makes his decision | OneFootball

Quinten Timber has long been on Borussia Dortmund's list. As early as November 2025, initial rumors about BVB's interest in the 24-year-old midfielder emerged. Now, the Feyenoord Rotterdam professional has apparently made a decision about his future.

This summer, Timber's contract with Feyenoord ends. So far, he has not been willing to commit to an extension. However, the collaboration between the player and the club won't even last this short period. He recently had a public falling out with his coach Robin van Persie (42).

"When I see that someone does not consistently have the right attitude in training sessions and games, I choose players who do have that attitude. In this regard, I have been dissatisfied with Quinten for quite some time," Kicker quotes van Persie. The 2010 World Cup runner-up banished Timber to the bench and also stripped him of the captain's armband.

Van Persie continued: "If you don't deliver the necessary performance over a longer period for any reason, there are consequences. The likelihood of finding a solution is high." The solution is apparently a club change. In the summer of 2025, Bayer Leverkusen courted Timber, but he remained in Rotterdam.

In Rotterdam since July 2022

But as is well known, postponed is not abandoned. The 24-year-old Dutchman with roots in Curaçao is packing his bags and, according to information from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, is joining Olympique Marseille. BVB, like Lazio Rome, is thus left empty-handed.

The former U17 European champion moved from FC Utrecht to Feyenoord Rotterdam in July 2022 for 7.4 million euros. Since then, he has played 125 matches, scoring 21 goals. The portal transfermarkt.de values him at 25 million euros. However, since Timber's contract in the Netherlands expires in a few months, OM likely won't have to dig too deep into their club coffers.
