Dharmesh Sheth claims that Everton and Atalanta are almost done negotiating a deal for Ben Godfrey.
On Thursday, June 27, the journalist from Sky Sports revealed via X that the Serie A team made an official proposal for the defender this morning.
Atalanta and the Toffees are now engaged in advanced negotiations.
Godfrey would really like to go to Italy.
Will Ben Godfrey, the defender for Everton, leave Goodison Park and sign with Atalanta?
It appears that this could be the ideal transfer for all parties.
Atalanta will pay a modest amount to get the services of an accomplished Premier League defender, who is still only 26 years old.
Regarding Godfrey, he is set to join a side participating in the UEFA Champions League for the upcoming season, and he has the potential to become a regular first-team member in Italy.
And finally, by offloading a player who didn’t have much of an impact at Goodison Park the previous season, Everton will earn a much-needed financial boost.

Although it looks that Atalanta has won the race to sign Godfrey, there seems to be a bit of a bidding war developing for him.
The player is eager to move, and the two teams are in advanced talks, so it might not be long before this deal is finalised.
