Two clubs are currently targeting out of favour Everton winger Kevin Mirallas, with one club prepared to meet his wage demands.
The Belgian winger has long known he didn’t have a future on Merseyside, following loan moves to Olympiakos and Fiorentina in recent seasons.
It very much seemed like only a matter of when, not if, for the 31-year old this summer, and now reports are claiming that the Belgium international is wanted back in his home country.
Nord Eclair (via Sport Witness) report that both Royal Antwerp and Club Brugge are interested in bringing Mirallas back to Belgium, and the player is reportedly keen on a move back there too.
The report claims it would take around €5million to land the forward and Antwerp and pushing hardest to land the Everton man, with the club willing to commit to paying his hefty wage demands.
It is thought that a deal for Mirallas to leave has never been closer to fruition, which indicates that negotiations over a deal are in the advanced stages.

This is a really good bit of business for Everton. Regardless of what your personal feelings for Mirallas may be, the club are getting €5million for a fringe player who has less than a year remaining on his contract.
Mirallas was unlikely to play this season, that was indicated by his appearances in pre-season amounting to nothing more than him being a defensive placeholder pre-Sidibe. With much stronger options across the board, Mirallas doesn’t have a future at Everton, and this is a great deal for the club.
