According to TEAMtalk, Feyenoord's Quinten Timber rejected approaches from multiple Premier League clubs before approving a move to Marseille. Marseille, who had been monitoring Timber for months, acted decisively once it became clear he was open to a transfer. It is believed the Ligue 1 side presented a long-term plan involving regular playing time and a key role in their midfield reconstruction, a proposal that ultimately persuaded Timber. The deal is valued at €4.5m (£4m, $5.5m), as the player's contract at the Rotterdam club expires in the summer, and is now expected to be finalized soon. Only the final formalities remain before the Dutch player is presented at the Stade Velodrome.

The 24-year-old, who has 8 caps and 1 goal for the Netherlands, has reached a verbal agreement with the Ligue 1 club, and negotiations between the clubs are in the final phase.
