Everton defender Ben Godfrey is set to travel to Italy on Friday to undergo a medical with Serie A side Atalanta. Sky Sports News reported that Atalanta have reached an agreement with Everton for a €10m fee plus an additional €2m in add-ons. Everton is looking to make some money as they work towards meeting the Premier League’s PSR rules by the 30th June deadline.
The process is moving quickly as Godfrey has been booked on a flight to Italy for Friday, where he will undergo a medical check with Atalanta. Personal terms have already been agreed upon between Godfrey and the Italian club, and the deal is expected to be finalized before the end of the month.
Last season, Godfrey struggled to secure regular playing time under Sean Dyche when all options were available to the Toffees boss. Despite interest from French club Lyon earlier in the week, Godfrey has expressed his desire to join Atalanta.
