Belgian Winger Waits As Fee Gap Persists

Paris Saint-Germain plan to return with direct talks over Mika Godts once the UEFA Super Cup concludes, hoping to finally close a deal that has dragged through most of the summer. Ajax, meanwhile, expect a fresh proposal to land soon, with the winger already having said yes to the move.

Negotiations haven’t been straightforward. PSG’s opening offer, worth around €40 million plus €5 million in add-ons, was swiftly rejected by Ajax, who reportedly value Godts closer to €60 million. A subsequent bid near €53 million, bonuses included, still fell short of the Dutch club’s demands, leaving both sides at something of an impasse heading into deadline weeks.

Ajax’s approach has been notably firm. The club enlisted super agent Jorge Mendes months ago specifically to maximise the fee, working on a no-cure-no-pay basis that only pays out if he secures their desired figure. That strategy reflects genuine confidence in Godts’ value, built on a standout 2025-26 campaign featuring 17 goals and 15 assists across 44 appearances.

Godts himself has addressed the speculation directly. “There are talks. I’m not going to say it isn’t true, because then nobody would take me seriously anymore,” he admitted recently, while also stressing his continued commitment to Ajax amid the uncertainty. Sources suggest a broad agreement already exists between player and club over personal terms, reportedly running until 2031 or 2032.

Timing Now Becomes Crucial Factor

Interestingly, Sunday’s Eredivisie opener added fresh intrigue. Godts was withdrawn from the starting lineup just minutes before kickoff against PEC Zwolle, sparking immediate speculation about a transfer strike. However, both the winger and his agent quickly dismissed that theory, attributing the decision entirely to minor fitness discomfort rather than any transfer-related standoff.

PSG’s urgency stems partly from squad planning. Having already completed the €50 million signing of Maghnes Akliouche, Luis Enrique reportedly views Godts as a priority addition, particularly with Bradley Barcola’s future looking uncertain in Paris.

For now, both clubs remain confident a resolution can be found. PSG’s determination to unblock the situation, according to Yahoo Sports, suggests fresh talks after the Super Cup could finally deliver breakthrough progress.
