The Italians have already made a proposition to the English that they will respect the near future.

Everton's central manager Ben Godfrey has expressed interest in Atalanti, reports The Athletic.

For the 26-year-old English player, the club from Bergamo paid 10 million euros (8. 46 million pounds sterling), because the “toffees” want to withdraw twice as much (15 million pounds sterling). Another, unnamed team has already offered Everton a sum for the transfer of Godfrey.

It is important that the manager is ready to replenish the Atalanti warehouse, and the representative of Serie A will have to color his position, as he wants to persuade Ben to move to another club or else he will lose his job at Goodison Park. His contract with Everton is insured until the end of the month 2025, so the Toffees are happy to let him in as a free agent instead of selling him for less than the sum required.

In the 2023/24 season, Godfrey took part in 16 matches in all tournaments, without any effective performances.
