FC Twente rebuffs Ajax rumors, cites €10 million Van Rooij valuation

FC Twente have valued right‑back Bart van Rooij at €10 million, a figure that has ignited transfer speculation linking him with Ajax. The club's valuation has become the focal point of swirling rumours, prompting coach John van den Brom to address the story in a press conference.

Coach John van den Brom addressed the speculation in a press conference, calling the reports simply not true. He said, “I asked Bart about it again today, and there is nothing going on.”

Brom added that such reports are always annoying, especially when they appear before a match. He noted the transfer window has been reasonably quiet and the media should stop spreading these stories.

Rots dismisses Ajax link, confirms Bart van Rooij stays

Twente teammate Daan Rots backed the coach’s denial, insisting the rumours are false. Rots said he knows Van Rooij as his partner on the right side and confirmed the player told him nothing about Ajax. He also mentioned that, to his knowledge, the player’s agent has not spoken with Ajax.

The article notes that the Tukkers’ right‑back has previously attracted interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Feyenoord. Those links suggest a move could still be possible despite current denials.

The €10 million valuation underlines the financial stakes for any potential transfer, meaning Ajax would need to meet a sizable price while Twente stands to profit. For Van Rooij, the denial leaves his immediate future at Twente unchanged.
