Ajax Defender Anton Gaaei Poised for Move to Eintracht Frankfurt
Anton Gaaei, a young defender currently playing for Ajax, is on the brink of transferring to the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt. Reports indicate that Gaaei has come to a personal agreement with the Frankfurt side, with Ajax outlining their expectations for the deal.
Background and Performance
The 23-year-old Danish right-back made his way to Ajax from Viborg in 2023, with his transfer fee recorded at €4.5 million. However, Gaaei’s time in the Netherlands has not been particularly noteworthy, coinciding with Ajax’s difficult season where they finished fifth in the Eredivisie, matching their lowest points tally in the history of the league.
Ajax’s Transfer Strategy
In a significant move to restructure the squad, Ajax has placed Gaaei among 20 players available for transfer. Technical director Jordi Cruyff is reportedly seeking to revamp the team by bringing in as many as 15 new players to the first team, which indicates a new direction for the club.
Contract Negotiations and Demands
According to Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports, Gaaei has agreed to terms for a contract that will last until 2031. Negotiations between Ajax and Eintracht Frankfurt are currently in progress, with Ajax reportedly requesting a transfer fee in the vicinity of €8.5 million for the Danish player.
Statistics and Contributions
In his three years at Ajax, Anton Gaaei has made a total of 111 appearances, contributing 7 goals and 11 assists to the team. During the 2025-26 season alone, he featured in 37 matches across all competitions, managing to score 3 goals and providing 5 assists.
