Ajax’ selling list grows as PSG eyes €153m spend after Super Cup
In the echoing corridors of Ajax’ training complex, the chatter of potential exits is palpable as the club weighs the sale of several players, with Belgian forward Mika Godts prominently mentioned. The desired multi‑million euro fee for the youngster has yet to be matched by any offer.
PSG’s Super Cup triumph refocuses transfer agenda
Paris Saint-Germain secured the Europese Super Cup, defeating Aston Villa 2-1, and the victory has shifted attention back to the transfer market. Club insiders expect the Parijzenaren to allocate up to €153 million in the coming weeks.
Target prices and negotiations
Technical director Luis Campos has set clear price tags for his targets: €65 million for Godts, €55 million for Ferran Torres of FC Barcelona, and €33 million for Zion Suzuki of Parma. These figures align with the club’s reported spending ambitions.
Coach Luis Enrique, after the Super Cup, remarked, “I do not talk about the transfer market, sorry.” When pressed about Godts, he added, “We love all good players in the world and Mika Godts is one of them.”
According to FootballTransfers, the Torres move is the closest to completion. The 26‑year‑old Spaniard missed a Barcelona training session to finalise a €55 million deal, signing a five‑year contract that will reunite him with Enrique in Paris.

Paris also appears ready for goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. The club has reached a principle agreement with Parma, the 23‑year‑old Japanese keeper has passed his medical, and the plan is to loan him immediately to Juventus for regular game time.
Godts has reportedly reached a personal agreement with the Parijzenaren for a contract extending to mid‑2031 or 2032. Ajax turned down an initial €40 million bid plus €5 million in bonuses, then enlisted top agent Jorge Mendes to secure the desired transfer sum. Mendes now leads negotiations with the French champions.
Before Ajax’s match against PEC Zwolle, the left‑winger unexpectedly left the dressing room, later explaining, “If I really didn’t want to play, I wouldn’t have played the last two matches either.”
PSG has already generated €159.3 million from recent sales of Gonçalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani and Kang‑in Lee, confirming that the double Champions League winner possesses the financial firepower for the planned €153 million outlay.
