The question is how long Jurriën and Quinten Timber will continue to play together at Ajax. Contract extension until the summer of 2024 has already been agreed with Jurriën Timber, but not yet with Quinten Timber. In contrast to his brother, the latter is still waiting for his debut in the main force and it seems almost necessary for Ajax given his expiring contract.
“There is a lot of attention from leading clubs in the Netherlands and abroad for Quinten. We have already spoken to some of them, ”says brother and agent Christopher Coffie of Forza Sports Group on Thursday The Telegraph. “We are also still in talks with Ajax. In the coming weeks we will look at what is best for Quinten’s development. ”
Jurriën Timber made his debut in Ajax’s main squad on 7 March last year against sc Heerenveen (1-3 win). Erik ten Hag called on the central defender several times in the remainder of the calendar year, who can also play as a right back and left wing defender, and in 2021 the nineteen-year-old even has a permanent base in the Amsterdam main force.
The long wait has begun for his twin brother. “I am calm and I hold to the fact that all young players had to be patient,” Quinten Timber emphasizes in the newspaper. “Even Frenkie de Jong, Donny van de Beek and Ryan Gravenberch needed time. I want to take my chance as soon as I get it. At the start of the season I broke my metatarsal bone, which left me out for six months. ”
“I have been fit for a little over a month now and I am happy that things are going so well. I feel that I can participate in training. ” According to Jurriën Timber, the moment the brothers both officially made their appearance in Ajax will not be long in coming. “Quinten knocks on the door, now has to bang on it and hope that his chance will come.”
