Everton forward Wayne Rooney will hold talks in Washington with Major League Soccer side DC United on Thursday.
The 32-year-old has already agreed a deal in principle with the club, although he still has a year left on his contract at Goodison Park.
The trip to the capital of the United States is understood to be a fact-finding mission.
Rooney rejoined Everton in July 2017 having spent 13 seasons at Manchester United.
He is the Red Devils’ record goalscorer and won five Premier League titles and the Champions League.
It is understood Rooney has been offered a contract until the end of the 2020 MLS season. The US transfer window does not open until July.
According to report also, Everton have given Rooney permission to speak to the American club but would welcome him remaining on Merseyside next season.
The Toffees are also keen for Rooney to discuss his future with their new director of football, former PSV Eindhoven sporting director Marcel Brands, and meet their new manager once appointed – with ex-Watford boss Marco Silva the main contender for that role.
Rooney made 40 appearances for the club last season and was top scorer with 11 goals.
