Ben Godfrey's Atalanta Stint Nears End as Defender Falls Out of Favor

Former Everton defender Ben Godfrey is set to leave Atalanta in January, with the Italian club no longer considering him a key player in their project, and he's been omitted from the squad list for the Super Cup.

Ben Godfrey's time at Atalanta appears to be drawing to a close, as the Italian club is open to letting the former Everton defender leave in January. Godfrey, who joined Atalanta from Everton, has fallen out of favor with the club's hierarchy and is no longer considered an integral part of their project.

The writing was on the wall for Godfrey when he was omitted from Atalanta's squad list for the Super Cup, a clear indication that he is not in the club's plans. As a result, discussions are set to take place regarding Godfrey's future, with a January departure from Atalanta looking increasingly likely.

With his Atalanta career seemingly coming to an end, Godfrey will be seeking a new challenge to revive his fortunes. The defender will be hoping to find a club that can provide him with the opportunities and playing time he needs to get his career back on track.
