In a noteworthy transfer move back in 2020, Godfrey made the switch from Norwich to Everton in a deal valued at 27.5 million euros. Despite accumulating 80 appearances for the Merseyside club and contributing three assists during his tenure, the 25-year-old center-back has encountered challenges in securing a regular spot in the starting lineup under the management of Sean Dyche.

While Godfrey is primarily recognized for his role as a center-back, his adaptability has been evident throughout his career, featuring in central midfield and as a full-back during his early years. However, playing time has become scarce since Dyche’s appointment, with Godfrey’s last appearance for Everton dating back to mid-December.

Transfermarkt.com currently values Ben Godfrey at 8 million euros, reflecting his standing in the current market.

Recent reports from CalcioMercato indicate that AC Milan are meticulously monitoring the situation surrounding Ben Godfrey, contemplating a potential move for the English defender. Everton, seemingly open to negotiating a deal at a reasonable price during the January transfer window, could facilitate a transition to Serie A for the versatile player.
