Antonio Conte’s Serie A title hopefuls were delighted to secure Godin thanks to Atletico’s vast rebuilding project.

But the Uruguayan looked less than convincing in his 25 appearances and was eventually fazed out of Conte’s three-man defence by youngster Alessandro Bastoni.

Calciomercato now claims Inter are ready to let Godin move on this summer.

And it’s reckoned Everton are shock frontrunners for the veteran’s signature.

Carlo Ancelotti is desperately seeking an experienced centre-half to steady the ship and bark orders from the bark.

He already has a space free in his squad after inheriting just three central defenders from Marco Silva earlier this season.

Mason Holgate, Michael Keane and Yerry Mina have all done a decent job when called upon.

But Ancelotti believes he needs someone with a higher pedigree to help stabilise Everton’s leaky back line.

Godin is believed to be open to a Premier League switch this summer.

That’s because he nearly came close to joining Manchester United last summer.

The Red Devils are still thought to be monitoring Godin’s situation.

And there is even said to be some interest from Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho.
