Ajax's Young Dynamo Sparks Early Transfer Clash Between Barca and Italy's Giants
Barcelona kicked off an early battle with two Italian giants to sign Ajax Amsterdam's rising star ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Ajax's Belgian winger Mika Godts has emerged as a priority for Barça, making waves with a standout season.
The 20-year-old is one of Ajax's brightest talents this campaign, despite the club's rough patch, sitting fourth in the Eredivisie, well behind leaders PSV Eindhoven.
According to Sudinfo.be, several major European clubs have lodged formal inquiries during the winter window, including Barcelona, Arsenal, Napoli, and Roma, along with Stuttgart.
Sources say Ajax has rejected any serious talks for now, not considering a departure before the summer window opens.
Godts has been decisive for his side, with 10 goals and 7 to 9 assists in the Eredivisie so far, plus performances in the Champions League.
The left winger, known for blistering pace, dribbling, and a right-footed finish after cutting inside, has shown notable attacking growth and attracted the gaze of many European scouts.
Sudinfo.be notes Ajax values the player, under contract until 2029, at about 15 million euros, though the club demands a substantially higher bid for any potential move.
With his bright potential, Godts remains a strategic target for Barça, Napoli, and Roma within their long-term talent development plans.
Punchline 1: If he keeps scoring like this, Ajax might rename the Eredivisie to the Mika Show.
Punchline 2: And if the rumors get louder, my wallet just filed for a restraining order against the rumor mill.
