Real Madrid is reportedly interested in Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber, as confirmed by journalist Ekrem Konur. The Spanish club identifies the 24-year-old Dutchman as a vital component in their upcoming defensive revamp.
This season, Timber has emerged as one of the Premier League‘s standout right-backs, enhancing his reputation as a top player in the league. Real Madrid envisions him as a prospective successor to Dani Carvajal, playing a key role in bolstering their defense.
According to sources, Real Madrid’s scouts have been closely observing Timber’s performances for the past two months, attending nearly every match he has played. His ability to perform both centrally and on the flank adds to his appeal for the La Liga giants.
In response to Real Madrid’s interest, Arsenal is preparing a new contract for Timber, which will include a considerable salary increase. The club is expected to demand between €85 and €100 million for the defender.
