Van Rooij conveyed his enthusiasm for FC Twente's plans, ambitions, and the opportunity to play on the European stage.
The technical director of NEC, Carlos Aalbers, explained that the delay in Bart van Rooij's transfer to FC Twente was due to NEC's demand for a market-conform price.

NEC couldn't ask for a premium price because of Van Rooij's expiring contract. Van Rooij, who had extended his contract last year, did not want to leave NEC on a free transfer. He will receive a farewell in the stadium before the match against PEC.
