Eintracht Frankfurt has set its sights on Ajax right-back Anton Gaaei, with the Bundesliga club reportedly making contact over a move valued at approximately €4.5 million. The deal, if completed, would land Frankfurt a 23-year-old Danish defender whose stock has been rising steadily across European football.
Here’s the thing about this fee: it’s almost exactly what Ajax paid Viborg FF to sign Gaaei back in 2023. So Ajax would essentially be breaking even on a player they’ve developed for multiple seasons.
Ajax’s fire sale and Gaaei’s rising profile
Gaaei is reportedly one of around 20 Ajax players deemed available for transfer this summer.
Gaaei’s current market value sits at an estimated €5 million, which makes Frankfurt’s reported €4.5 million approach feel like a slight discount. With his contract running until 2028, Ajax has leverage here.
