Mats Rots Reflects on Ajax Interest and Family Bond

In 2025, Ajax expressed significant interest in FC Twente standout Mats Rots, although a transfer ultimately did not materialize. The young left-back now reflects on the interest from Amsterdam.

Mats Rots of FC Twente was frequently mentioned alongside the Amsterdammers. He discusses his close relationship with his brother and teammate, Daan Rots, stating, “We both have our own lives, but it’s wonderful to share so much together,” as he told Voetbal International.

Previously, Rots was also identified as a potential successor to Sergiño Dest at PSV. Bert van Losser from RTV Oost remarked, “If Dest leaves PSV, Rots is a quintessential PSV player under Bosz.” Tijmen van Wissing added, “When you think of Mats Rots, we were just watching darts, and Anco Jansen was about to break the table in excitement. Such intensity is not something you typically associate with Mats Rots. In a way, it’s positive that not everyone has the same character, but he truly is a bit of a dreamer.”
