Milan is looking for a central defender: the player will not renew his contract in the Premier League and could soon arrive in Italy
The summer transfer session is heating up and at home Milanafter announcing the arrival of the new coach Paulo Fonseca, we think about the rose. After Simon’s farewell Kjaerthe management’s priority is to find another central defender for next season.
This footballer must have specific qualities: the right experience and physical fitness. That’s why the idea came back Ben Godfrey. As already announced this winter in one of our exclusives, Milan has been tracking the player since 2020 and can represent an important resource for the ‘Devil’. This operation now more than ever appears to be going downhill. In fact, according to what the site reports ‘Football Insider‘, the central defender ofEverton “he has rejected multiple offers to extend his contract and will now enter the final year of his deal at Goodison Park“. This means that, if previously Godfrey represented a low-cost option for Milan, today it is an opportunity and the possibility of seeing him in the Rossoneri as early as next season is increasingly concrete. But pay attention to the European auction: the 26-year-old is also chasing the Borussia Dortmund.
Milan, who is the defense target Ben Godfrey
Born in 1998, the English footballer stood out for his important flexibility. Capable of covering various defensive roles, from central to full-back, Godfrey has a good technique which allows him to set up the action in a clean and precise manner.
He cultivates his talent with the shirt of Norwich with whom, at just 22 years old, he made 30 appearances Premier League. Ended up in the sights of several clubs in the past, including the Rome and theAtalanta, the young man decides to move to Everton, where he signs a contract until June 2025. In the past season with the ‘Toffees’, however, the numbers dropped: 15 appearances, of which 13 as a starter and 2 as a substitute in 38 days , for a total of 1122 minutes. Although he has always been athletically ready, he was used little or not at all at Goodison Park and this most likely forces him to look around and choose a new team where he can demonstrate his value, but above all play regularly and not for a handful of minutes.
