Rumours swirl as Mika Godts’ Portugal link sparks debate ahead of summer

Mika Godts’ possible move to Portugal has ignited speculation after a photo of the Ajax forward surfaced on social media on Friday evening, a day after Ajax’s Conference League match against FK Vojvodina Novi Sad. The image appears to show Godts travelling to Portugal, suggesting a transfer could be imminent.

The X account WFCGRONINGEN, known for breaking news, posted that it had received “a very interesting tip” about the Eredivisie star. The tip claimed the player was spotted at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, allegedly heading to FC Porto and manager Sérgio Farioli, and that the account would wait for confirmation.

WFCGRONINGEN emphasized that the photograph was taken only a few minutes before it was posted, underscoring its freshness and reinforcing the rumor’s timeliness.

Ajax supporters quickly reacted on the same platform. One fan argued that Godts is “completely out of budget” for FC Porto and warned that “they would have to pay at least 50 million”. Another supporter joked that the move could simply be “a nice short holiday for Mika”.

A different follower expressed disbelief, noting that “a talent that the whole football world has at his feet would not swap Ajax for Porto”. The comment added that larger clubs are already circling the player, making a switch to a club in the same segment puzzling.

Further scepticism emerged around the financial side. One user asked, “Will they spend 40 million? I didn’t think so. No Portuguese club can afford that.” The same comment suggested the trip might merely be a few days off before Ajax’s congested schedule.

Godts has repeatedly stated his desire to remain at Ajax for another season. He made such remarks last season and reiterated them in the days following the Conference League fixture.

Given his expressed commitment and the interest from higher‑profile European clubs, a direct transfer to FC Porto appears illogical, yet the rumor persists. Until an official statement from Ajax or FC Porto is released, the situation remains unresolved.
