Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed the signing of Mika Godts from Ajax for a fee of €45 million plus €10 million in performance-based bonuses. The 21-year-old Belgian left-winger will sign a five-year contract keeping him at the club until June 2031.
For a player Ajax picked up from Genk for just €1 million in January 2023, a €55 million exit represents a return on investment that would make most venture capitalists weep with envy.
From Genk to Paris in three and a half years
Godts’s trajectory has been, by any measure, absurdly steep. The Belgian attacker joined Ajax as an 18-year-old prospect with potential but no pedigree at the senior level. He leaves as the reigning Johan Cruyff Talent of the Year in the Eredivisie.
The numbers from his 2025-26 season tell the story clearly. Godts registered 17 goals and 12 assists across 32 Eredivisie appearances, a combined output of 29 goal contributions that made him impossible for Europe’s biggest clubs to ignore.
