Paris Saint-Germain has officially kicked off negotiations to sign Ajax winger Mika Godts, a move that could shake up the transfer market and potentially pave the way for Bradley Barcola's switch to Liverpool.
The French champions have reportedly identified the 21-year-old Belgian talent as their top priority to bolster their attacking lineup for the upcoming season. This pursuit signals a significant strategy shift and is expected to create a ripple effect throughout the summer transfer window.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the developing situation on X, stating that PSG has already approached Ajax for discussions. He also revealed that the club has had positive direct talks with Godts, who is keen on a move to Paris, with Luis Campos heavily involved in the pursuit. Godts had a stellar season in the Eredivisie, racking up 17 goals and 15 assists, earning him the Eredivisie Talent of the Year award.
This aggressive move for Godts by PSG strongly suggests that a deal for Bradley Barcola to join Liverpool is nearing completion. Barcola has reportedly expressed his desire not to extend his contract with PSG, with Anfield being his preferred destination.
With Barcola pushing for a transfer, PSG manager Luis Enrique is understood to require a direct replacement on the left wing before sanctioning the Frenchman's departure. Liverpool is currently seen as the frontrunner to sign Barcola and is preparing to submit an official offer. PSG's pursuit of Godts appears to be the final piece of the puzzle, clearing the path for Barcola's high-profile move to Merseyside once the Godts negotiations are finalized.
