Ajax’s pursuit of Noa Lang hinges on Mika Godts’ PSG exit

Ajax have formally expressed interest in 27‑year‑old left‑winger Noa Lang, with sources telling VoetbalPrimeur that a first meeting between the Amsterdammers and the player has already taken place today. The club’s approach marks a clear step toward securing the Dutch international.

Lang is listed among Ajax’s top candidates to succeed Mika Godts, who is reportedly on a fast track to Paris Saint-Germain. The potential replacement scenario places the Dutch forward at the centre of the club’s future planning.

Both parties have indicated a strong desire to work together, and Lang’s eventual arrival is said to depend on Godts’s departure. This conditional link underscores the strategic timing of Ajax’s recruitment drive.

Napoli, Lang’s current club, have signalled willingness to loan him with a purchase option that triggers automatically upon certain sporting achievements. The Italians are also prepared to consider a permanent transfer for €25 million, the same sum they paid PSV last summer.

At the start of the previous season Lang struggled to adapt under Antonio Conte, resulting in limited playing time. A winter loan to Galatasaray revived his minutes, and his performances caught the eye of Ronald Koeman with a view toward the World Cup.

The Dutch international returned to Napoli this summer seeking a fresh opportunity. With Godts poised to join PSG, a return to Ajax – the club where Lang broke through and benefited from the youth system – now appears feasible.

During his initial spell at Ajax, Lang featured in fourteen official matches, scoring four goals and providing one assist. Ajax sold him permanently to Club Brugge in mid‑2021 after a loan, and two years later he moved to PSV, where he added two consecutive league titles and a Johan Cruyff Shield to his résumé.
