Atalanta told they must raise bid for Everton defender Godfrey
Italian outfit Atalanta have offered Premier League side Everton £8.4 million for Ben Godfrey.
The 26-year-old will be out of contract in a year, which means he can leave for free when the 2024/2025 season ends. However, the Mirror states that the Toffees are still seeking a hire fee from a buyer this summer.
They have put a £15 million asking price on the centre-half, who is a back-up player.
Everton manager Sean Dyche only used Godfrey from the start on 14 occasions last term.
The reason for the high asking price is the fact that Everton paid £25 million for him in 2020.
