According to reports, an agreement between NEC and Machida Zelvia is already in place for Ouwejan's transfer. However, the Dutch winger still needs to undergo a medical examination before the deal is finalised. Ouwejan did not train with NEC on Friday, suggesting that the transfer is imminent. NEC was willing to facilitate the transfer, as Ouwejan is no longer part of trainer Dick Schreuder's plans, having not played a single minute this season. Ouwejan signed a three-year contract with NEC two years ago, after joining the club on a free transfer from Schalke 04. The Dutch winger has played 40 times for NEC, previously representing Udinese and AZ. Machida Zelvia paid two million euros to NEC for Ogawa this week, but the amount for Ouwejan's transfer remains unknown.
