Quinten Timber’s Transfer Goes Awry: Midfielder Exits Marseille
Quinten Timber’s transfer to Olympique Marseille has had repercussions for midfielder Angel Gomes, who is now set to exit the club. Reports indicate that Gomes is undergoing a medical examination to finalize his move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Timber’s Arrival at Marseille
Marseille secured Quinten Timber’s transfer for €4.5 million this January. Timber, who captained Feyenoord, signed a contract lasting until 2030. Since joining, he has already started in two matches, leading to Gomes becoming surplus to requirements.
Gomes’s Career at Marseille
Angel Gomes arrived at Marseille last summer on a free transfer from OSC Lille. Although he was previously regarded as a top talent and had drawn interest from English clubs, he did not leave a lasting impact under manager Roberto De Zerbi. This season, he participated in 20 matches for Marseille, but it appears his time with the team is coming to an end.
Transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers
The 25-year-old Gomes is now poised to return to the Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The club is currently facing relegation concerns, having recorded just one win this season and sitting at the bottom of the league table.
Wolves’ Needs and Gomes’s Role
- Wolverhampton Wanderers is desperate to avoid relegation.
- Gomes will join the team on loan with a purchase option.
- The purchase option is contingent upon the club remaining in the Premier League.
As Gomes undergoes his medical tests, he is expected to soon be confirmed as a Wolves player. His experience and skill could be critical in helping the team tackle their challenges this season.
