The Colorado Rapids' interest in Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard is mutual, with the U.S. international likely to arrive in the summer, multiple sources have told ESPN FC.
NBCSports.com earlier reported the current state of the talks over Howard's future.
Colorado's interest in Howard first emerged earlier this month, and now sources have confirmed that Howard is indeed interested in returning to MLS.
One source with knowledge of the negotiations indicated "discussions are ongoing and positive."
Howard signed a four-year contract with Everton in 2014 that lasts until 2018, but a source said the goalkeeper's 10-year spell with the club makes it unlikely that MLS will need to pay a transfer fee in order to obtain his services.
