Ajax Eye Roony Bardghji as Godts-PSG Deal Approaches

AFC Ajax are positioning themselves as a serious option for Roony Bardghji, with the Dutch club ready to move if they cash in on Mika Godts to Paris Saint-Germain, according to SPORT.

The Amsterdam side are braced for a frantic finish to the window. They have already reopened the trading line with FC Barcelona by taking Marc-Andre ter Stegen on loan, and they are prepared to go back in for more.

Right now, everything hinges on Godts.

Godts sale could light the fuse

PSG have already tested Ajax’s resolve with a €50 million offer for the Belgian winger. That bid was turned down. Ajax believe they can squeeze more out of the French champions, even though Godts has already agreed personal terms.

If that deal finally breaks through, it changes everything.

Ajax intend to pour a significant chunk of any Godts fee straight back into the squad. Noa Lang, currently at Napoli, remains the priority target. He is the headline name on their list.

But Bardghji is moving quickly from alternative to genuine option.

Earlier in the summer, Ajax effectively walked away from the Swedish winger because Barcelona were pushing for a permanent sale rather than the loan the Dutch club preferred. A Godts windfall alters that equation. With money in hand, Ajax could afford to meet Barcelona’s demands and still shape the deal on their own terms.

Alongside that, another Barcelona prospect, Jofre Torrents, is still expected to arrive in Amsterdam on loan, underlining the growing pipeline between the two clubs.

Barcelona push for cash, Bardghji wants a route back

Bardghji’s future is expected to be settled in the coming days. The player’s stance is clear: he would rather leave on loan, gain a full season of regular football, and walk back into Barcelona next summer with momentum and minutes behind him.

Barcelona see it differently.

The Catalan club are driving hard for a permanent transfer with a buy-back clause. It is the model they trust: immediate income now, long-term control later. Bardghji cost them only around €3 million, so a sale at current market value would represent a clean piece of business, while the buy-back would keep the door open for a return if he explodes elsewhere.

On the pitch, he has done everything asked of him. Bardghji has been one of the standout performers in pre-season, catching the eye with his sharpness and direct attacking play. Hansi Flick has been impressed by his energy and ability to unsettle defenders.

That still has not changed the cold reality of the depth chart.

With Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon arriving to bolster the wide positions, Flick has been blunt: consistent minutes for Bardghji at Camp Nou will be scarce. For a 19-year-old winger on the rise, that is a problem.

So club and player find themselves aligned on one key point. He has to go somewhere he will play. The argument now is about how.

Europe watches as Ajax weigh their move

Bardghji’s camp are combing through offers, searching for a project that guarantees him a big role while respecting Barcelona’s preferred structure of a permanent deal with a buy-back option. That condition has slowed some suitors.

Interest is not the issue. The shape of the deal is.

Premier League clubs remain attentive, tracking his situation, but none have yet stepped forward with a proposal that allows Barcelona to lock in that future repurchase clause.

In France, Marseille continue to keep tabs on him, ready to pounce if the numbers fall within reach. In Spain, a place at a Champions League club could open up if other late-window moves create space in attacking areas.

Barcelona have already had chances to move Bardghji on earlier in the summer. They waited. So did he. Both sides wanted the right project rather than the quickest exit.

Now Ajax hover in the background, waiting on one decisive phone call from Paris. If PSG finally meet Ajax’s price for Godts, the dominoes start to fall.

And when they do, the next step in Bardghji’s career might run straight through Amsterdam.
