Mika Godts, a 21-year-old Ajax player, has become one of the main names in the operation that could alter the offensive front of PSG this transfer window. The French club is in negotiations with Ajax and is preparing a proposal that could exceed 50 million euros, while Bradley Barcola is pushing for a move to Liverpool.

Mika Godts accelerates negotiations between PSG and Ajax

PSG continues working with Ajax for Godts, as the player has given the green light to the operation. The proposed deal includes 45 million euros fixed plus variables, with a total package exceeding 50 million.

This Sunday, the situation of the Belgian gained weight. Godts was included in Ajax's starting lineup for the kickoff of the Eredivisie 2026/27 but was withdrawn shortly before the start. The Dutch club explained that he was not in sufficient physical condition to start the match.

The decision came as talks with PSG are ongoing. The nature of the physical problem and the duration of his absence have not been publicly disclosed, so his absence alone does not confirm the completion of the transfer.

Godts ended the last season with 17 goals and 12 assists in 31 games, numbers that explain the interest from top clubs and his position in the current negotiations. His performances also earned him a call-up to the Belgian national team.

Barcola opens the door to a change affecting PSG

Godts' move is related to the uncertainty surrounding Barcola, who has expressed his desire to leave PSG and considers Liverpool as one of the main candidates to acquire his services. The 23-year-old Frenchman is under contract with PSG until June 2028.

Liverpool has progressed in talks for Barcola and is preparing an operation that could reach very high figures. PSG's asking price is reportedly above 150 million euros, while negotiations between the two clubs continue.

If Godts were to arrive, PSG would have another option for their attack if Barcola ends up leaving Paris. The French team already has Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, and Maghnes Akliouche, so any departure would alter the distribution of minutes on the wings.

Ajax must decide how long they can wait for Godts

Ajax still has room to negotiate as Godts remains tied to the club, but pressure mounts as the transfer window nears its end. Recent reports indicate that the Dutch club rejected an initial offer of 40 million euros and is expecting a higher bid.

The next step will be for PSG to submit a new financial proposal for Mika Godts. If the offer exceeds 50 million euros and Ajax accepts the conditions, the deal could progress definitively while Barcola's future in Paris depends on negotiations with Liverpool.
