FC Twente midfielder Mathias Kjølø is on the verge of completing a permanent transfer to Rosenborg BK, with clubs nearing a final agreement on a 4.5-year contract worth approximately 10 million Noorse kronen (950.000 euro), according to reports from Norwegian outlet TV 2 and corroborating details from regional media.
Transfer Details and Financial Terms
The 25-year-old player traveled to Trondheim to finalize the move after four seasons in Enschede, during which he amassed 126 appearances for the club. According to reports cited by local coverage, Rosenborg will pay roughly 10 million Noorse kronen (950.000 euro) to secure the defensive midfielder. Clubwatcher Leon ten Voorde confirmed that only minor administrative details remain before the transaction receives final ratification, which could remove Kjølø from active duty for FC Twente imminently.
Tactical Fit Under Rosenborg Management
Rosenborg manager Freyr targets Kjølø as a vital component for a high-pressing tactical system. Local sports analysts, including media figures in Norway, have praised Kjølø for his composure on the ball and the substantial top-flight experience he gathered during his tenure in the Eredivisie.

Squad Adjustments in Enschede
FC Twente appears to have already lined up an internal succession plan to cover the departure. With Kjølø headed out the door, the club in Enschede anticipates the arrival of Jordy Mabuah to reinforce the squad depth in defensive positions. Technical staff have moved quickly to stabilize the roster ahead of upcoming domestic fixtures.
Next Steps and Fixtures
Rosenborg and FC Twente officials are expected to sign final paperwork to clear the transfer window formalities before the player begins training in Trondheim. Share your thoughts on Kjølø’s four-year spell in Enschede and his move to Norway in the comments below.
