Liverpool have been linked with a summer move for Ajax central defender Jurrien Timber. Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest news about the potential transfer.
“Liverpool, meanwhile, are understood be prioritising a left-footed centre-back. The asking price will also be important, and with Timber, Ajax have him on a long-term contract so are in control on the asking price,” he wrote in his Substack column.
“Liverpool’s priority is also to strengthen in midfield, and then they’ll look at centre-back, so Timber has to be patient. He knows he has to wait and we’ll see in the next weeks what will happen, but it’s not something imminent.”
Timber made 34 Eredivisie appearances for Ajax last summer, scoring twice and recording two assists. Considered one of the most talented defenders in Europe, the 21-year-old can play both at centre-back and right-back.
