Everton in advanced talks to sell senior player, he is ready to move - Dharmesh Sheth

Everton and Atalanta are close to agreeing a deal for Ben Godfrey, according to Dharmesh Sheth.

The Sky Sports journalist reported via X on Thursday (27 June) that the Serie A side put in an official bid for the defender this morning.

Negotiations between Atalanta and the Toffees are now at an advanced stage.

Godfrey is keen on a move to Italy.

Will Everton defender Ben Godfrey quit Goodison Park and join Atalanta?

This looks as if it could be a perfect transfer for everybody involved.

For Atalanta, they will be signing an experienced Premier League defender who is still only 26 years old, for a relatively low fee.

As for Godfrey, he will be joining a club playing in the UEFA Champions League next season and could establish himself as a first-team regular in Italy.

And finally, for Everton, the Toffees will receive a much-needed financial boost by selling a player who didn’t make much of an impact at Goodison Park last season.

Overall this is a positive transfer development, and those connected with Everton will be hoping that negotiations move along quickly.

Something of a bidding war appeared to be breaking out for Godfrey, although it seems that Atalanta have won the race for his signature.

With the player keen on the move, and the two clubs in advanced talks, it might not be long until this transfer becomes official.

In other Everton news, a takeover claim has emerged after a £200million development at Goodison Park.
