armory, chelsea, Manchester City And Manchester United Ajax star Mika Godts is unlikely to face competition from Barcelona this summer.
Journalist Matteo Morato reports that the Catalan giants have no interest in the 20-year-old, despite reports to the contrary. Voetbal Primeur reported his comments today.
Premier League interest
Mika Godes is set to receive a big-money move this summer after establishing himself as a rising star in Europe at Ajax this season.
The youngster has scored 16 goals and 13 assists in 39 games for Ajax this season, including a spectacular solo goal in the 2-0 win over NAC Breda that grabbed the headlines. Overall, the youngster has scored 24 goals and 23 assists in 106 games for the Dutch giants since his debut.
The Premier League is already making the rounds. Sport Witness covered a report stating that Arsenal and Chelsea have already sent scouts. Manchester City and Manchester United are also in the mix. However, fans have been urged to avoid heading to the Etihad.
A report from the Netherlands has also included Barcelona in the mix. But, speaking to Radio Marca, Matteo Moretto insisted that is not the case.
"I'll tell you something else, Ajax winger Mika Godts' name has come up often," he said. Brand radio program La Pizarra de Quintana.
“He is very good, very talented, and has already been offered to Barça several times. Barcelona do not want to pursue this option at the moment.
"They're not interested. They prefer a more experienced, winning profile."
Where next for Mika Godts?
It appears that Barcelona are not keen, with Mika Godts having to make an interesting decision regarding his future this summer.
If bigger clubs come calling, is he out of Ajax at that point? Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United all have the money to give Ajax what they want. And also give a big contract to the young player.
But the question is whether either side would be best for his future. After all, he has benefited from regular playing time at Ajax and experience in the Eredivisie and Europe. It will be a completely different story in the Premier League.
The growing feeling in the Netherlands is that it should look for an intermediate step. It remains to be seen whether he heeds that advice amid a potentially busy summer.
