Indonesian national team defender, Jay Idzes, is a player targeted by Serie A giant club, AC Milan. In fact, it is reported that Idzes will be able to join the San Siro in the January 2026 transfer market.
Not without reason. This season Jay Idzes continues to show consistency through his performances at Sassuolo which continues to develop. Last season, he also impressed with Venezia.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Sassuolo have set a price of €40 million for Idzes for any club, including AC Milan. The Milan club value Jay Idzes’ versatility, physicality and tactical awareness, and see him as a potential option for the 2025/26 mid-season transfer window.
Sassuolo only spent around 8 million euros to bring in Idzes from Venice in the summer of 2025. Currently, the market value of this central defender has quadrupled from the initial investment.
Idzes’ significant price increase stems from his consistent performance in Europe and his incredible professional development. Playing in Serie A for Sassuolo, Idzes impressed with his ability to read the game, his solid tackling and especially his flexibility in the defensive system.
This central defender for the Indonesian national team is able to play well in all three positions in a three-man defense formation, a factor that makes him a modern central defender who is sought after by big clubs.
It was this performance that attracted AC Milan’s attention to Jay Idzes. The club repeatedly sent scouts to watch him live during Sassuolo matches.
CEO Giovanni Carnevali recently signaled an openness to negotiations, insisting that the club would not discourage young players from moving to bigger teams as part of its talent development policy.
