Cedric Hatenboer, a 19-year-old defensive midfielder from Excelsior, has attracted interest from multiple clubs. FC Twente is also linked to him. Hatenboer is under contract with Excelsior until the summer of 2026, with an option for an additional year. His market value is currently estimated at 500,000 euros, but Excelsior wants at least three million euros for the transfer. It is possible that he could be signed this winter and then loaned back to Excelsior for the remainder of the season.

FC Twente is reportedly interested in signing Cedric Hatenboer, who is contracted with Excelsior until the summer of 2026. Excelsior is seeking a transfer fee of 2 million euros for the player.

Scouts from FC Twente have shown great interest in the development of Cedric Hatenboer this season. The club is aiming to strengthen their squad following the departure of Youri Regeer to Ajax. Cedric Hatenboer from Excelsior is one of the four players being considered by FC Twente as potential reinforcements, along with Joel Ideho from ADO Den Haag. The Tukkers are actively looking to enhance their midfield and attack after securing approximately five million euros from Ajax for Regeer, who is also capable of playing as a right-back. While other players like Oliver Edvardsen are financially out of reach, Hatenboer remains a primary target for FC Twente in the upcoming winter transfer window.
