Ben Godfrey to join ex-Premier League manager in shock European move after cutting loan short


Ben Godfrey is reportedly close to completing his third loan move from Atalanta.

The defender returned to the Italian side earlier this month after his year-long spell at Sheffield United was cut short.

Godfrey is expected to join Bröndby on loan from Atalanta until the end of the season.

Godfrey is now on the verge of joining Danish club Bröndby on loan until the end of the current season.

According to The Telegraph, a deal has been agreed with Atalanta which could be completed in the coming days.

This follows a disappointing outing at Bramall Lane for the 28-year-old.

Godfrey played just four games for the Blades after joining the Championship side in the summer.

The last of these games was a 1-0 home defeat to Charlton in Chris Wilder’s first game at the club in September.

Wilder had not included Godfrey in the matchday squad since his loan spell ended earlier this month.

Godfrey joined Atalanta in 2024 but is now set for his third temporary move from the club.

He previously spent five loan spells at Ipswich in the second half of last season.
