AC Milan willing to buy Everton centre-back Ben Godfrey
are eyeing a potential transfer for Everton‘s versatile defender, Ben Godfrey, as the English player has seen limited action this season, making only three appearances for the Toffees.
Having joined Everton in 2020 from Norwich in a notable 27.5 million euros deal, Ben Godfrey has accumulated a total of 80 appearances for the Merseyside club, contributing three assists along the way. Despite his versatile skills and defensive prowess, the 25-year-old centre-back has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting XI under manager Sean Dyche, who assumed the helm at Everton.
While Godfrey is primarily known for his role as a centre-back, he has showcased his adaptability by featuring in central midfield and as a full-back during the early stages of his career. However, his playing time has dwindled since Dyche’s appointment, with his last outing for Everton dating back to mid-December.
Recent reports from CalcioMercato suggest that AC Milan is closely monitoring Ben Godfrey’s situation, with the Italian giants considering a move for the English defender. Everton, seemingly open to offloading the player at a reasonable price in the January transfer window, could pave the way for a potential switch to Serie A.

The prospect of a move to Milan could offer a fresh start for Godfrey, revitalizing his career and providing him with the opportunity to make a significant impact on the European stage. Milan’s interest in the Goodison Park stalwart comes at a time when the player is seeking more regular playing time and a chance to regain his form.
With only two appearances for the England national team to his name, Ben Godfrey will be eager to impress on a new stage, potentially in the iconic red and black colors of AC Milan. The allure of playing in Italy’s top-flight league could be the catalyst for rejuvenating Godfrey’s career and showcasing his capabilities on a grander scale.
As the transfer window unfolds, the negotiations between AC Milan and Everton regarding Ben Godfrey will undoubtedly capture the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide, marking a pivotal chapter in the player’s career and the latest move for one of England’s promising defensive talents.
