Godts confirms talks underway with PSG
The Ajax winger admits negotiations with Paris are ongoing but reaffirms his commitment to the Dutch club.
Mika Godts has confirmed that negotiations are actively progressing with PSG, according to L'Équipe. The 21-year-old Belgian winger came off the bench in Ajax's 2-0 win over Zwolle in the Eredivisie, but broke his silence after the match: «There are discussions. I'm not going to deny it's true, because nobody would believe me anymore,» Godts said in the mixed zone.
However, the player was emphatic in reaffirming his desire to stay in Amsterdam. «I love Ajax. I've grown up here and I'm happy to keep playing for Ajax. As long as there's no agreement, I'll play every minute I'm given,» he stated. Godts entered the pitch in the 60th minute after feeling hamstring tightness during the warm-up and capped his appearance with an assist for Julian Brandt in added time.
His agent, Niels De Jonck, had previously denied that the substitution's bench start was linked to PSG's interest, attributing it to an overload. Ajax manager Michel backed the Belgian's commitment: «He took physical risks to be with the team».
