Manchester United's former England captain Wayne Rooney has been pictured at Everton's training ground on Saturday.
Sky Sports News has reported that Rooney would be having a medical ahead of a proposed transfer back to the boyhood favourites he first joined aged nine.
Earlier on on Saturday it was confirmed United had agreed a fee with Everton for Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, which is understood to be worth an initial Stg75million ($A127 million), and that deal will be sealed once the striker passes a medical and agrees personal terms.
With Lukaku to move in the opposite direction, the way appears to be clear for the 31-year-old Rooney to leave Old Trafford after 13 years.
Rooney has played more than 550 games for the Red Devils and scored 253 goals to become their all-time leading scorer.
But last season he was no longer an automatic selection under manager Jose Mourinho and lost his place in the England squad.
United were expected to fly to the United States without him to continue their pre-season preparations on Sunday.
