But, it looks like the defender has his sight set on Sardinia.

Godin arrived at Inter on a free transfer last summer. The celebrated defender has since struggled to get a hold of Conte’s back-three system. When he finally managed to fit well and perform, the season was already in its tail-end. Antonio Conte, on the other hand, prefers to stick to Milan Skriniar who is in a poor form right now. Skriniar made terrible mistakes in the last season often conceding goals. But, the 25-year-old Slovak is still one of the best defenders in the world.

Despite numerous rumours of a move away, Milan Skriniar has managed to stay at the San Siro. While Skriniar gets another chance, Godin will have to make way for younger talent and a quicker backline.
