Manchester United<\/a> are reportedly in a five-way fight for Ajax<\/a> attacker Mika Godts<\/a> ahead of this summer’s transfer window.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for Ajax during the 2025-26 campaign, scoring 17 goals and registering 14 assists in 40 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Man United want to bring in a left-sided forward this summer, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding a potential summer move for Godts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Voetbal4U<\/a>, the 20-time English champions are set to face competition from Arsenal<\/a>, Chelsea<\/a>, Barcelona<\/a> and Bayern Munich<\/a> for his signature this summer.<\/p>\n

The report claims that Man United were among those to have scouts at Ajax’s 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven<\/a> in the Eredivisie on Saturday, and Godts impressed with a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n

Man United transfer news: Red Devils ‘keen’ on summer move for Ajax forward Godts<\/p>\n

The youngster has three goals and two assists in his last three league appearances for Ajax, and it is difficult to imagine the Amsterdam club keeping him beyond the end of the 2025-26 campaign.<\/p>\n

De Telegraaf journalist Mike Verweij recently said, via Soccer News, that an exit is expected this summer should Ajax receive a suitable offer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s what I think: Godts is 20 years old, and he\u2019s criticised for not showing up in the big games, even though he does in the smaller ones,\u201d\u00a0said Verweij.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, he actually did score in the big games, but he thought: this is going to be my game. If you\u2019re a little too overconfident and try to do a little too much, then it just doesn\u2019t turn out the way you want it to.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that he\u2019s doing that this season at Ajax is quite impressive. I think that if Ajax gets the chance and they can get a good price for him, they\u2019ll go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

How much would Ajax’s Godts cost this summer?<\/p>\n

Godts has a contract with Ajax until the summer of 2029, meaning that the Dutch outfit are in a strong position when it comes to any potential negotiations at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

It is believed that Ajax would want at least\u00a0\u20ac50m (\u00a343m) for Godts, who has scored 25 goals and registered 24 assists in 107 appearances for his Dutch club in all competitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United are reportedly in a five-way fight for Ajax attacker Mika Godts ahead of this summer’s transfer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23,254,257,247,249,252,256,253,255,250,248,259,258,251],"class_list":{"0":"post-9717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-amsterdam","8":"tag-amsterdam","9":"tag-cycling","10":"tag-epl","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-formula-1","13":"tag-golf","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-olympics","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-rugby","18":"tag-sport","19":"tag-sports-mole","20":"tag-teams","21":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
