Ajax eyes Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji after Godts sale
AFC Ajax has emerged as a primary candidate for Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji, contingent on the club finalising the sale of Mika Godts to Paris Saint‑Germain. A potential €50 million windfall would enable the Amsterdam side to fund the transfer and further strengthen the squad.
Why the Godts deal matters for Ajax
The Dutch club currently sits fifth in the Eredivisie (final 2025 table - 5th, 56 pts, 14W‑14D‑6L) and boasts a goal difference of +21 (62 scored, 41 conceded). With a 28‑point gap behind leaders PSV Eindhoven, every additional revenue stream is valuable. The sale of Godts, who already turned down a €50 million bid from PSG, would give Ajax the financial leeway to target both Bardghji and Noa Lang from Napoli.
How Barcelona's demands shape the market
Barcelona wants a permanent transfer with a buy‑back clause, retaining control over Bardghji. The Swedish winger, however, prefers a loan move to return next season. Ajax, which recently secured Marc‑Andre ter Stegen on loan, sees this as an opportunity to acquire a young, talented winger without the upfront cost of a permanent deal.
What this means for Ajax's future
If the Godts transaction goes through, Ajax could place a bid on Bardghji in the coming weeks. The club has already shown interest in Noa Lang, but adding a fast, creative winger would give Ajax's attack an extra dimension. While other European clubs, including Premier League sides and Marseille, also show interest, Ajax remains the only club receiving a direct financial boost via the Godts sale.
Bottom line
With a solid Eredivisie foundation and a clear need for attacking reinforcement, AFC Ajax is poised to enter the market. The outcome of the Godts deal will determine whether Bardghji becomes the next step in the Amsterdam club's ambitions.
