Crystal Palace Pursues Quinten Timber from Marseille Following Premier League Defeat
Crystal Palace has expressed interest in acquiring Quinten Timber, a 25-year-old midfielder currently with Marseille and an international player for the Netherlands, as reported by L’Equipe. Following their recent 2-0 loss against Everton in the Premier League, the Eagles are pushing to strengthen their midfield, with Timber being a primary target.
Quinten Timber, who aims to play in the Premier League, was part of Ronald Koeman’s squad for the Netherlands in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He transferred to Marseille from Feyenoord last winter for a modest fee of €4.5 million. Since then, he has made 16 appearances for Les Phocéens and is currently contracted until 2030.
Reports indicate that FC Porto has withdrawn from the competition for Timber’s signing, who is valued at under €20 million by Marseille.
Crystal Palace have enquired about Marseille and Netherlands international midfielder Quinten Timber (25), according to L’Equipe. The outlet understands that the Eagles, who have lost their Premier League opener against Everton (2-0), are expected to make concrete steps to sign Arsenal full-back Jurriën Timber’s twin brother. Crystal Palace are looking for midfield reinforcements, and the Marseille man is high on their list of targets.
L’Equipe reports that Quinten Timber, who was part of Ronald Koeman’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad for the Netherlands, dreams of playing for a Premier League side. Timber only joined Marseille from Feyenoord last winter for a cut-price €4,5m transfer fee. He featured 16 times for Les Phocéens, with which he’s under contract until 2030. The outlet understands that Portuguese champions FC Porto are no longer in the running to sign Timber, who is valued south of €20m by Marseille.
