AC Milan open transfer talks with relegated Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey as Napoli also join chase for defender

AC MILAN and Napoli have reportedly joined the transfer chase for Norwich City’s Ben Godfrey.

The 22-year-old defender shone for the Canaries despite them suffering relegation from the Premier League.

Ben Godfrey is reportedly already in talks with AC Milan over shock move

Napoli are also keen on bringing the Norwich star to Europe

He made 30 Premier League appearances last term and his performances have caught the eye of a number of clubs.

Now Calciomercato.it claims two of Italy’s big guns are now keen.

And they state Godfrey’s agent has already begun talks with one of them.

The reports says his representatives travelled to Milan last week for discussions over a dream move to the San Sito.

However, they will face a battle with Serie A rivals Napoli for his services.

They will launch a move for the star if they fail to land No1 target Gabriel from Lille.

Godfrey also has German side Borussia Dortmund chasing him.

He still has three years left on his contract at Carrow Road.

And Norwich have placed a £27m price tag on his head.
