Everton defender Leighton Baines is ready to leave the club this summer and move on to pastures new.
According to The Mirror, via HITC, a number of MLS clubs are keen on signing Baines – with his Everton teammate Wayne Rooney also set for a move to America.
The report claims that Chicago Fire and Philadelphia are the two teams interested in bringing Baines across the Atlantic.
Everton have been linked with a move for German international left-back Marvin Plattenhardt, as they look to replace Baines over the coming weeks.
Reports have claimed that Everton are stepping up their interest in Plattenhardt, as Baines edges closer to his Goodison exit.
Plattenhardt started Germany’s opening game at the World Cup in Russia this summer, as the reigning champions lost 1-0 to Mexico.
The 33-year-old, Baines, has made over 400 appearances for Everton since joining the club from Wigan in 2007.
