The 26-year-old defender, a product of Middlesbrough and York City’s youth academies, was frequently rumored to be moving to Yorkshire in early 2024.
Struggling for playing time at Everton, he was reportedly on Sheffield United’s radar as they sought to strengthen their backline.
Leeds United also expressed interest, given their push for promotion in the Championship.
Despite his previous connection with Farke at Norwich City, a reunion didn’t come to fruition, and Godfrey remained at Goodison Park for the rest of the season.
Now, it seems he might be leaving Merseyside to rejuvenate his career.
According to Sky Sports, Atalanta has agreed to a £10 million deal to bring Godfrey to Serie A.
The Italian club is said to be paying an initial £8.5 million, with potential add-ons worth up to £1.7 million.
Godfrey has already arrived in Italy for his medical examination, which both parties hope will proceed without complications.
