According to a report from TEAMtalk, Inter Milan have entered the race for the signature of Quinten Timber, who has been on Manchester United’s wishlist for a while now. The Serie A giants are looking to add more quality to their midfield, and they are looking to hijack United’s move for the Dutch international.
On the back of an impressive season at FC Utrecht, Feyenoord acquired Timber’s services in the summer of 2022, and he has only gone from strength to strength since. The Dutchman has been a key figure in their team over the years, and he was handed the captaincy last summer.
The 24-year-old versatile midfielder was quite impressive during the first half of last season, but he was forced to sit on the sidelines in the second half because of a serious knee injury. Despite concerns regarding his fitness, there is still a lot of interest in his signature.
With Timber entering the final year of his contract at Feyenoord, top clubs are looking to strike a bargain deal. Manchester United are one of the Premier League giants that are interested in his services. Ruben Amorim wants more quality and depth in midfield, and Timber’s versatility is one of the reasons why he is keen on adding him to their squad.
The 24-year-old prefers playing as a central midfielder, but he is capable enough to feature in an attacking as well as a defensive role when needed. Manchester United have been tracking his progress for a while now, and there has been some movement from their end of late. However, they are yet to enter into advanced talks with the Dutch club to sign Quinten Timber.
Since Manchester United are not making any concrete moves, Inter Milan see this as a great opportunity to hijack the deal. The Serie A giants are looking for more options in midfield. With Hakan Calhanoglu set to leave the club and Kristjan Asslani’s future also uncertain, Cristian Chivu seeks more quality in the centre of the park.
The Nerazzurri are interested in having Timber in their ranks, and they have already made enquiries about the 24-year-old. While Inter Milan are yet to table an offer, they continue to gather information ahead of a potential move. He is believed to be quite high on their wishlist.
Meanwhile, Feyenoord are not willing to let the Dutchman leave on the cheap and want at least €25 million to sanction his departure despite the threat of the captain running down his deal and leaving for free next summer.
