Quinten Timber has to face the consequences of his clearly stated wish to leave. In today’s home game defeat against local rivals Sparta Rotterdam (3:4), Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie did not nominate the 24-year-old midfielder for the starting eleven. According to consistent Dutch media reports, the background is the right-footer’s intention not to extend his contract, which expires in the summer.
„I think it’s a shame that it had to come to this. It has happened a few times now that the coach doesn’t protect his player. But at some point it ends and it happens again“, Timber complained to ‘ESPN’ after the game. Borussia Dortmund most recently expressed interest. A squad spot has become available there due to the departure of Pascal Groß (34). There are now many indications that Timber will be leaving for the winter. “I would rather not leave the club for free, so a move is more likely now”said the eight-time national player.
