Olympique Marseille is close to completing a deal to sign Dutch Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber, as part of its efforts to strengthen its squad during the current transfer window, according to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano.

According to Romano, Marseille has reached a full verbal agreement with the player regarding salary and personal terms, while negotiations with Feyenoord's management have entered their final stages to finalize the deal's value and payment method.

The same source indicated that the final details between the two clubs are expected to be completed within the next 24 hours, amid Timber's strong desire to experience a new challenge outside the Dutch league, specifically with the southern team in the French league.

Quinten Timber is considered one of the most prominent midfielders in Dutch football recently, and he also enjoys additional media attention as he is the brother of Arsenal defender Jurriën Timber, which adds to the excitement surrounding the anticipated deal pending its official announcement.
