Indonesian captain has transfer price of nearly 350 billion VND

(Dan Tri) - Italian and Indonesian media reported that Indonesian national team captain Jay Idzes transferred from Venezia Club to Sassuolo Club for 11 million euros (more than 336.5 billion VND).

Italian media outlet Tutto Mercato confirmed that Jay Idzes completed the procedures to join Serie A club Sassuolo yesterday (August 8).

This is a rather special contract, Sassuolo paid a total of 11 million euros, and will receive two players at the same time, Jay Idzes and Fali Cande (Guinean). However, the above price of 11 million euros is mostly the cost for the Indonesian central defender, while Fali Cande's transfer price is very low.

According to the same media channel, in addition to Sassuolo, at least 3 clubs in Italy were interested in Jay Idzes, including Torino, Udinese and Genoa. However, Sassuolo finally reached an agreement with the Indonesian national team's central defender.

With a price tag of 11 million euros, Jay Idzes is among the most expensive players in the history of Southeast Asian football.

That is a transfer price nearly 3 times higher than the transfer price of "Thai Messi" Chanathip Songkrasin at his peak (about 3.9 million euros, more than 119 billion VND, when he transferred from Consadole Sapporo Club to join Kawasaki Frontale Club in Japan in 2022).

Jay Idzes is 25 years old this year, 1m90 tall. He was born in the Netherlands. In addition to Venezia, Jay Idzes played for the famous Dutch team PSV Eindhoven from 2018-2020.

Jay Idzes has been the captain of the Indonesian national team recently. He is one of the great hopes of the archipelago team in the 4th qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.
