Paris Saint-Germain have formally opened negotiations with Ajax to sign Belgian left winger Mika Godts, marking a significant moment in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old attacker has emerged as PSG’s top priority to reinforce their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development in an exclusive update on X, revealing that club-to-club negotiations between PSG and Ajax are now actively taking place.
Romano also reported that PSG sporting director Luis Campos has held direct positive talks with Godts himself, with the player keen on making the move to the French capital.
Romano’s full update read: “Paris Saint-Germain already approached Ajax, club to club negotiations are taking place. Godts wants Paris Saint-Germain after direct positive talks with Luis Campos. Deal underway.”
Godts enjoyed a stunning season in the Eredivisie, registering 17 goals and 15 assists across all competitions to claim the Eredivisie Talent of the Year award.
His outstanding performances have attracted significant attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and PSG have now moved decisively to secure his signature.
The timing of this pursuit is highly significant, as it strongly suggests that Bradley Barcola’s proposed transfer to Liverpool is now approaching its final stages.
Barcola has reportedly informed PSG of his intention not to extend his current contract, with Liverpool identified as his preferred destination and Anfield very much in his sights.
PSG manager Luis Enrique reportedly required a direct replacement on the left flank before he would sanction Barcola’s departure from the club.
By moving to sign Godts from Ajax, the French champions appear to be actively preparing the ground for Barcola’s exit and ensuring squad depth is maintained.
Liverpool are currently considered the frontrunners to land Barcola’s signature and are reportedly preparing an official opening proposal for the France international.
Once PSG finalise their deal for Godts, the pathway is expected to be fully cleared for Barcola to complete his high-profile move to Merseyside.
The dominoes are falling rapidly, and this summer could soon see one of the most high-profile transfers of the window officially confirmed.
