Mika Godts emerges as Paris Saint-Germain’s next attacking target in Ajax talks

Paris Saint-Germain have opened formal negotiations with Ajax for Belgian winger Mika Godts as they continue an intensive summer transfer campaign.

The move comes after the French champions secured the signing of Norwegian player Maghnes Akliouche for 50 million euros and follows their failure to land Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande, who is expected to join Real Madrid.

Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Paris Saint-Germain have already contacted Ajax, with discussions now taking place over a deal for Godts. The 21-year-old enjoyed an outstanding season, scoring 17 goals and providing 15 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.

Godts keen on Paris Saint-Germain move

Paris Saint-Germain have also made initial contact with Godts directly. The club’s sporting adviser, Luis Campos, held talks with the winger in what were described as “very fruitful” discussions.

Godts was reportedly impressed by the sporting project outlined by Campos and has made clear his desire to move to the French capital. That stance could give Paris Saint-Germain a significant advantage as they attempt to reach an agreement with Ajax.

The Dutch club had hoped to keep hold of the promising young player, but they are now fully aware that Godts wants to leave. His position puts Ajax in a difficult negotiating situation as the two clubs continue talks over the details of a possible transfer.

Paris Saint-Germain could move quickly to secure another attacking option if negotiations progress successfully. Their interest comes amid uncertainty over the future of French winger Bradley Barcola, who is being pursued by several leading Premier League clubs.

Search for Diomande alternative

Godts has emerged as a target after Paris Saint-Germain were unable to complete a deal for Diomande. The Ivory Coast winger had been repeatedly linked with the Parisian club in recent days, but Real Madrid are now expected to win the race for his signature.

The pursuit of Godts reflects Paris Saint-Germain’s need to strengthen their wing options during the summer window. The club are continuing to reshape their squad with the aim of challenging for every domestic and European honour.

Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Champions League last season and are now seeking further attacking reinforcements to help maintain their position among the leading teams in Europe. The club’s discussions with Ajax represent the latest step in that recruitment strategy, with Godts’ preference for a move to Paris potentially helping to accelerate negotiations.

For Ajax, the immediate priority is to determine whether Godts can be persuaded to remain in Amsterdam or whether the player’s desire to join Paris Saint-Germain will lead to an agreement. The outcome of those talks could decide whether the Belgian winger becomes the latest addition to the French champions’ attack.
