Ajax want to keep the defender at the club next season if possible. However, they are aware of an interest in Timber and the defender is ready to leave.
And it is reported that Ajax want around 50 million euros before they agree to sell the player this summer.
The Dutch giants do not have any specific offers but Timber is keen to move to a bigger club in the coming months.
Ajax are a best-selling club and if their valuations are respected, they are unlikely to stand in the way of the Dutchman.
