Paris Saint-Germain remain active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad before the new season begins.
The French champions have already made changes to their squad this summer, but they are still targeting further additions in attack.
Luis Enrique’s side are looking to add more quality in the wide areas ahead of the transfer deadline.
However, completing one of their priority deals is proving more difficult than initially expected.
The Ligue 1 giants recently submitted an opening proposal for one of Europe’s promising young wingers.
However, the offer has failed to convince his current club, with negotiations yet to make any progress.
According to De Telegraaf, Ajax have rejected Paris Saint-Germain’s opening bid for Mika Godts, with director Jordi Cruijff refusing to enter negotiations over the Belgian winger.
The report claims PSG offered €40 million plus €5 million in bonuses for the 21-year-old.
However, Cruijff believes the proposal falls well short of Ajax’s valuation, meaning no negotiations have started and no counter-offer has been made.
Ajax reportedly consider Godts an important player who can help the club compete for the league title.
The Dutch club also view him as extremely difficult to replace and are demanding a fee well above €60 million.
The report adds that PSG have already generated around €160 million through player sales this summer, strengthening Ajax’s negotiating position.
Meanwhile, Godts has already reached a framework agreement over a new contract until the summer of 2031 or 2032, according to reports.
Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, believe there are reasons why Ajax should lower their asking price. The French champions point to the fact that Godts joined Ajax from KRC Genk for €1 million in January 2023.
So, the Dutch side would still make a substantial profit. PSG are also looking to Maghnes Akliouche, with the AS Monaco winger expected to cost around €50 million.
