Prodigal son to return? Ajax plotting a major move in the market
Noa Lang could be heading back to where it all began.
Details: Ajax are considering bringing Napoli winger Noa Lang back to Amsterdam as early as this summer. The Dutch giants have already reached out and see the 27-year-old as the ideal replacement for Mika Godts.

The logic behind Ajax's move is clear: with one of their top young talents likely to depart, the club is looking for someone who can slot in on the wing without a lengthy adaptation period. Lang fits the bill perfectly—he's a product of the Ajax academy and knows the club's demands inside out.
But it won't be a walk in the park. Roma, Club Brugge, and Fiorentina have also shown interest in the Dutchman, setting the stage for a fierce battle for the winger's signature across several leagues.
It's worth noting Lang joined Napoli from PSV in the summer of 2025 for €28 million, and his salary in Italy is around €2.8 million per year. Before PSV, Lang played for Club Brugge—initially joining them on loan from Ajax.
