Mika Godts, a 21-year-old forward (primarily a left winger) for Ajax Amsterdam (under contract until 2029) and Belgium—who has enjoyed an excellent season—has been identified as a transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain. Numerous media outlets and journalists are reporting this Saturday that the deal is nearing completion.
Voetbal:
PSG’s interest in Godts has been ongoing for some time, and the Belgian has already spoken with Technical Director Luis Campos; the two were even spotted together. There is a reason the conversation took place in Portugal rather than Paris: Godts was seen in Porto, about an hour’s drive from Campos’s home.
ESPN:
Mika Godts is leaving Ajax for Paris Saint-Germain. The two clubs are still negotiating the transfer fee—expected to be between €45 million and €50 million—but Godts appears to have already made up his mind. This information was confirmed to ESPN following reports by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
Fabrice Hawkins (RMC Sport):
Talks are underway between PSG and Mika Godts. PSG will soon contact Ajax to negotiate the player’s transfer.
The Belgian winger is excited about the prospect of joining the capital club, as Fabrizio Romano has reported.
Sacha Tavolieri:
Paris Saint-Germain had already made preliminary contact with Ajax Amsterdam regarding Mika Godts back in mid-March.
The case for the Belgian (who speaks fluent French) is being strongly championed by Luis Campos, who is convinced of his ability to step in as a backup to Kvaratskhelia.
Djamel:
The Belgian winger appeals to both Luis Enrique and Luis Campos. Campos has spoken with the player several times; the player made it clear he wants to join PSG and dreams of playing under Luis Enrique.
The Spanish coach has also spoken with the player and enjoyed the conversation.
The club is very optimistic about finalizing the deal!
The meeting between Campos and Godts:
It is rare to see so much confirmation in such a short time, leaving little room for doubt. Above all, there is the video showing Godts chatting with football advisor Luis Campos. That is significant. As for negotiations between the clubs, they appear to be well underway, and the price tag for this immense talent is expected to hover around €50 million.
The Belgian is a left winger with a style reminiscent of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25); he could very well serve as his backup initially. However, he also possesses the qualities to play other positions—something coach Luis Enrique has likely already factored in, and the player is aware of it.
This signing fits perfectly into PSG’s project, adding a highly promising player with everything to gain to an elite-level squad. For Godts, it is a great opportunity, even if competition for a starting spot in big matches is fierce. It offers an excellent environment for development and success. Moreover, Luis Enrique has clearly demonstrated in recent seasons that he relies on his entire squad and that opportunities to shine do arise. It will be up to him to seize them, should the transfer go through. It seems highly likely, though not yet fully finalized.
