In the 2012–13 season, Rosales' transfer speculation continued when European clubs were keen on signing him.[42] Despite this, Rosales stayed at the club and started his season well when he set up one of the goals, in a 4–1 win over Groningen in the opening game of the season[43] and continued to be in the first team regular. Despite being suspended twice after being booked a multiple of times,[44][45] as well as, his own injury concerns,[46] Rosales went on to make forty-four appearances in all competitions.

Unfortunately, in a match against Heerenveen, in the second round of the KNVB Cup, he received a red card after a second bookable offence, in a 3–0 loss, eliminating from the tournament.[47] Rosales then scored his first goal of the season, in a 3–2 loss against ADO Den Haag on 26 October 2013.[48] His 100th league appearance for the club then came on 10 November 2013, in a 1–1 draw against PEC Zwolle.[49] As the 2013–14 season progressed, Rosales faced a suspension after picking up a yellow card for the fifth time this season[50] and his own injury concern,[51] but finished the season, making thirty-one appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

In the 2015–16 season, Rosales continued to be in the first team regular as a right-back and his performance convinced the club to start negotiation over a contract for him.[61] It came after when he set up one of the goals for Charles, who scored a hat-trick, in a 3–1 win over Real Sociedad on 3 October 2015,[62] as well as, being linked with a move to Sevilla in the summer.[63] As the 2014–15 season progressed, Rosasles' consecutive starts ended when he was suspended after picking a fifth yellow card against Granada on 8 April 2016[64] and after returning from suspension, he then suffered an injury during a match against Levante on 2 May 2016, that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.[65] Despite this, Rosales went on to make thirty-six appearances in all competitions.
