Feyenoord Faces Dilemma Over Quinten Timber’s Future Amid Transfer Window

Feyenoord finds itself in a challenging situation during this winter transfer period. Their most valuable player, Quinten Timber, appears unlikely to extend his contract, leading to the possibility of him leaving for free next summer. The Rotterdammers are now faced with the pressing question: can they negotiate a sale in the coming weeks?

In the latest episode of the SoccerNews podcast Transfermind, the implications of Timber’s contract situation are discussed. Timber’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and he has shown little interest in renewal. As one of Feyenoord’s key players in recent seasons, his market value is significant, aligning closely with that of fellow player Givairo Reijnders, estimated at €25 million. However, given Timber’s contract status, the likelihood of Feyenoord profiting from a sale seems slim. Should the former captain move this winter, what remuneration can the club realistically expect?

Should Feyenoord successfully sell Timber this winter, they will likely seek to bolster their midfield. Recently, Kodai Sano was specifically linked to the club by ESPN, although this rumor was quickly refuted by Boualin. “The Rotterdammers have certainly been monitoring Sano for some time, but they have yet to make contact with Nijmegen,” reported the transfer journalist. It is also noted that acquiring the Japanese player would require an investment of around €20 million for NEC.
