Overview
- Hoffenheim is reported to have agreed terms to sign Mats Rots and to have completed his medical, with Dutch outlets saying a five-year contract is expected.
- The fee is reported at up to €16 million including bonuses, which Voetbal International and other local media say would set a new outgoing transfer record for FC Twente.
- Rots, 20, broke through last season with 43 appearances for Twente, scoring four goals and providing four assists while earning five caps for Jong Oranje.
- The move places Rots in Hoffenheim's Europa League squad after the German club finished fifth in the Bundesliga last season, offering him early-season continental minutes.
- FC Twente's technical staff framed the transfer as the next step in Rots's development and a financial boost for the club while the player leaves his brother Daan Rots behind in Enschede.
