Bayern Weighs Ajax’s Mika Godts as Cheaper Alternative to Anthony Gordon

Price pressure is shaping Bayern’s hunt for a rotation winger behind Luis Díaz.

Overview

  • Bayern Munich, which reports Friday say is monitoring Ajax’s Mika Godts, is assessing the 20-year-old as a lower-cost left-wing option.
  • Newcastle is said to want about €90 million for Anthony Gordon, a figure Bayern does not plan to pay for a backup to starter Luis Díaz.
  • Godts plays mainly on the left, posted 17 goals and 12 assists in 30 Eredivisie matches this season, and is under contract with Ajax until 2029.
  • Bayern is also discussing Charles De Ketelaere and keeping RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande on its list, though Diomande would likely cost around €100 million.
  • Reports link Newcastle’s high price to a need for summer income under financial rules, which could push Bayern toward younger targets with smaller fees.
