Ajax back Anton Gaaei 'agrees on terms' with Frankfurt, club sets demands

Gaaei, 23, joined Ajax from Viborg in 2023 for a fee of €4.5 million but hasn't made a great impression at the struggling Dutch giants. With Gaaei often featured in the starting XI, Ajax finished fifth in the Eredivisie last year with their joint-worst points total in Eredivisie history.

The Danish right-back is allowed to leave Ajax along with 20 other players who were listed for sale on the TransferRoom platform. Technical director Jordi Cruyff is restructuring the Ajax squad and reportedly wants to bring in up to 15 new players for the first team.

According to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg, Gaaei has reached a personal agreement on a contract until 2031. Negotiations between Ajax and Eintracht Frankfurt are underway, and ESPN reported that Ajax are demanding up to €8.5 million for the Dane.

Anton Gaaei has made 111 appearances for Ajax in three years, scoring 7 goals and assisting a further 11. During the 2025-26 season, Gaaei played 37 games across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and assisting a further 5.
