Arsenal Open Talks with Jurrien Timber over New Contract

Arsenal aims to secure Jurrien Timber’s future after his strong comeback from ACL injury, with talks underway to extend his contract beyond 2028 amid interest from Bayern Munich.

  • On Friday, Arsenal have begun talks with Jurrien Timber, with conversations in early stages to extend his stay beyond his 2028 contract expiry.
  • Signed from Ajax in the summer of 2023 for �34.4m, Timber suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his Premier League debut but made 51 appearances in 2024-25 after full rehabilitation.
  • Bayern Munich and another top club reportedly reached out a while ago, while Andrea Berta, Arsenal sporting director, has tied down William Saliba and is progressing on Bukayo Saka's contract.
  • Club sources expect Timber to receive a significant pay rise as he is not among Arsenal F.C.'s top earners, and further meetings are expected as club and player's representatives work toward final terms.
  • Mikel Arteta praised Timber's comeback and hopes the player enjoys a long career at Arsenal, while an official announcement could arrive in the coming weeks as talks progress.
