Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20

30. Diego Godin - Inter Milan

After spending nine years on the books at Atletico Madrid, Diego Godin has made the move to Inter Milan in Italy. While it didn't seem like the Uruguayan international had begun to fall off, at 33-years old it feels like the best step for his career at this point.

The pace of the Spanish league isn't decreasing, so making the move to the much slower Serie A will help mask the inevitable drop off in speed and other physical attributes that happen when players get older. Luckily, his other talents as a defender should prove to be quite beneficial in this new league.

His no-nonsense style of play will fit right in at Inter, plus his experience could help the Nerazzurri improve upon their fourth place finish from last year. Not only is he still a very good defender, he's also got fantastic leadership qualities that you can't teach. In a team that's looking to close the gap on their rivals and return to their former glory, Godin is a solid piece of business.
