Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly pursuing Ajax right-back Anton Gaaei, with the Dutch club having cleared the 23-year-old for departure as part of a wide-ranging squad overhaul.
Gaaei arrived at Ajax from Viborg in 2023 for €4.5 million but his time in Amsterdam has not delivered the expected returns. With Gaaei regularly featuring in the starting XI, Ajax finished fifth in the Eredivisie last season, matching their joint-worst points total in the competition’s history.
According to Algemeen Dagblad, Frankfurt see Gaaei as the direct replacement for Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, who departed for FC Midtjylland.
Ajax Open the Exits for Gaaei and 20 Others
Gaaei is one of more than 20 players Ajax have listed for sale on the TransferRoom platform. Technical director Jordi Cruyff is restructuring the roster from the ground up, with reports indicating he wants to bring in as many as 15 new first-team players.
Gaaei’s Numbers at Ajax
Despite the team’s struggles, Gaaei has been a consistent presence. Across three years and 111 appearances for Ajax, he has scored 7 goals and contributed 11 assists. In the 2025-26 season alone, he played 37 games across all competitions, registering 3 goals and 5 assists.
| Season | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Career at Ajax | 111 | 7 | 11 |
| 2025-26 | 37 | 3 | 5 |
Those are solid output figures for a fullback, and Frankfurt’s interest signals confidence that Gaaei’s performances have value beyond the context of a struggling Ajax side. Stay with TipsGG for the latest updates as this transfer develops.
