Ajax rebuffs Frankfurt’s inflated bids for Gaaei, demands higher price

Ajax has once again turned down the inflated Frankfurt-aanbiedingen for Danish defender Anton Gaaei, rejecting Eintracht Frankfurt’s second bid of between €4 million and €4.5‑5 million. Technical director Jordi Cruijff stressed the Dutch club’s stance, labeling the proposal far below Ajax’s valuation.

Earlier, the Bundesliga‑club Eintracht Frankfurt presented a first offer of €2 million for the Deense right‑back Anton Gaaei. Jordi Cruijff laughed during the negotiations and dismissed the Dutch‑club’s proposal as insufficient for the Nederlandse Amsterdammers.

The follow‑up Frankfurt-aanbiedingen arrived as a second bid ranging between €4 million and €4.5‑5 million, yet Ajax again deemed it too low. The Dutch technical director, Jordi Cruijff, emphasized that the Duitse club’s proposal remained far below the club’s valuation, a stance echoed in his quoted remark ending with “Cruijff.” The offer, described as inflated, failed to meet Ajax’s expectations.

Ajax is understood to be asking between €7.5 million and €8.5 million for the Deen defender. Gaaei’s contract runs to the summer of 2028 at the Johan Cruijff Arena, where he has featured in 111 matches, scoring seven goals and providing thirteen assists. The club’s valuation reflects both his on‑field contributions and his long‑term contract.

Van the original purchase, Sven Mislintat brought the Deense player from Viborg for €4.5 million, a deal that the Amsterdammers hope to surpass. Ajax aims to secure a significant profit by selling the Deen right‑back.
