Godfrey had been pictured in Italy ahead of a medical at the Gewiss Stadium and has now completed his move. The Serie A side have reportedly secured his services in a deal worth £10m.

The 26-year-old had slipped down the pecking order at Everton and there was talk of interest from Yorkshire in January. Sheffield United were said to be keen, as were Leeds.

However, Godfrey stayed put and saw out the 2023/24 season at Goodison Park. The England-capped defender has now moved on and will ply his trade outside the United Kingdom for the first time in his career.
