Atletico Madrid star Diego Godin could be on the verge of a big-money move to Manchester City.
Per Simon Jones of the Daily Mail, City "could trigger [the] Atletico Madrid defender's £28 million release clause," while "his agent, Paco Casal, has held discussions with City's hierarchy and is willing to push for the move."
According to Squawka, Godin was Atletico's second-best performer in La Liga last season. As Jones notes, Los Rojiblancos "would not wish to sell such a key component of their team, particularly after selling Joao Miranda to Inter Milan earlier in the summer, yet are powerless if the buy-out clause is met and the player wishes to go.
