Everton defender Ben Godfrey is set to join Italian Serie A side Atalanta, according to Sky Sports News. The deal, reportedly worth €10m plus €2m in add-ons, has been reached by the two clubs and is expected to be finalized before the June 30 deadline.
The medical check will take place once Godfrey arrives in Italy on Friday. He has already agreed to personal terms with Atalanta, and all parties are optimistic that the deal will be completed soon.
Despite interest from French club Lyon, Godfrey ultimately chose Atalanta as his preferred destination. This move is a significant step for the English defender as he looks to further his career in Europe. With Atalanta’s strong reputation in Italian football and their participation in European competitions, this opportunity represents a valuable step forward for Godfrey’s career progression.
