Ajax Eyes Roony Bardghji Transfer as Godts to PSG Deal Looms
Ajax are positioning themselves for one of the more intriguing late moves of the window – and the key could be Mika Godts.
According to SPORT, the Dutch club are ready to step up their interest in FC Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji if they manage to push through Godts’ proposed transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. The French champions have already seen a €50 million offer turned down, with Ajax holding out for more while the Belgian has agreed personal terms.
The message from Amsterdam is clear: sell Godts, reshape the attack.
Busy window, familiar partner
Ajax are braced for a hectic finish to the market and are once again looking to Barcelona as a key trading partner. They have already brought in Marc-Andre ter Stegen on loan and remain in talks to take Jofre Torrents on a temporary deal as well.
Godts is the immediate priority. Ajax know they are sitting on a major asset and want to squeeze every last euro out of PSG. If that breakthrough comes, the plan is to recycle the money straight back into the squad.
Noa Lang, currently at Napoli, is still top of the list. He is the headline target, the name circled in red. But behind him, Bardghji has moved sharply into focus.
A deal that once looked unlikely now sits firmly on the table. Ajax had previously walked away because Barcelona were only entertaining a permanent transfer, not a loan. A Godts windfall changes the equation. With cash in hand, Ajax could afford to meet Barça’s demands rather than haggle for a short-term fix.
Barcelona’s stance: sell now, control later
Inside Barcelona, the situation around Bardghji is reaching decision time. His future is expected to be resolved in the coming days.
The Swedish winger would rather leave on loan, play a full season elsewhere, and walk back into Camp Nou next summer with more experience and a stronger claim for minutes. Barcelona see it differently.
The club are pushing for a permanent sale with a buy-back clause. It is the model they have leaned on repeatedly: bank an immediate profit on a player signed for around €3 million, but keep a door open in case his development explodes elsewhere.
On the pitch, Bardghji has done everything asked of him. He has been one of Barcelona’s standout performers in pre-season, impressing Hansi Flick with his energy, direct running and attacking spark. He looks ready. The squad around him says otherwise.
Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon have arrived to crowd the wide positions. Flick has been blunt: regular minutes will be scarce. For a 19-year-old on the verge of a breakthrough, that is a red flag.
So club and player are aligned on at least one point – he needs to go somewhere he will play.
His representatives are now combing through options that guarantee a serious role on the pitch while respecting Barcelona’s preferred structure: a permanent transfer, but on their terms, with a buy-back clause baked into the deal.
Ajax, with fresh money from a Godts sale, suddenly look like a clean fit.
Europe watching
Ajax are not alone in circling. Interest in Bardghji stretches across Europe.
Premier League clubs continue to track him, but none have yet put forward a proposal that satisfies Barcelona’s insistence on future control. The English market can pay, but Barça want more than a cheque – they want a route back.
In France, Marseille remain attentive, monitoring developments in case the negotiations elsewhere stall or the financial demands shift in their favour. In Spain, doors could open late in the window if Champions League clubs manage to clear space in their squads with other outgoing moves.
Barcelona have already had chances to cash in earlier this summer and chose to wait, convinced a better project would emerge – for both them and the player.
Now the picture sharpens. If PSG finally meet Ajax’s price for Godts, the dominoes fall. Cash lands in Amsterdam, and Bardghji moves from “interesting option” to “real possibility.”
For a player who lit up pre-season but sees a blocked path at Camp Nou, and for a club in Ajax that needs a new attacking reference if Godts goes, the timing could be perfect.
If the numbers line up and the clauses fall into place, this could be the move that defines Bardghji’s next chapter – and reshape Ajax’s frontline in a single stroke.
