Overview
- Ajax said Godts was not fit to start the match and named Abdellah Ouazane, who made his Eredivisie debut, as his replacement.
- French media report that Godts has given an agreement in principle to PSG and that a long-term contract is prepared, but those claims have not been confirmed by Ajax or PSG.
- Reports say PSG made an initial offer of about €40–45 million including bonuses that Ajax rejected and that Ajax is asking near €60 million, with a reported new PSG offer of €55 million expected.
- Godts confirmed he has held talks with PSG and said he will keep playing while no deal exists, and his agent described the match omission as a precaution after a training discomfort.
- Godts was a breakout last season with strong goal and assist numbers and any transfer would force Ajax to alter its attacking plans while giving PSG a young winger option.
