Carlos Aalbers, NEC's technical director, has spoken about the club's transfer period in an interview with Voetbal International. Aalbers revealed that NEC brought in 14 players and let 19 players leave. This move surpasses PSV and Feyenoord in the Eredivie transfer market. Aalbers stated, "Qua bedragen was dit natuurlijk wel de drukste zomer, verreweg zelfs," highlighting the significant transfer fees and salaries involved. The technical director believes this transfer window reflects the club's growth. However, he also warns against expecting such a strong transfer balance every year. Aalbers acknowledged NEC's exceptional performance in the transfer market, saying, "Na Ajax hebben wij deze zomer de beste transferbalans in de Eredivisie."
