Everton have reached an
agreement to sign Morgan Schneiderlin
from Manchester United in a deal
worth £22m. Schneiderlin is expected to undergo a medical this week and will be
reunited with his former manager Ronald
Koeman, under whom he flourished while the pair were together at Southampton. It is understood the fee
could rise to £24m with add-ons.
The France international was brought to United by Louis van Gaal in a £24m deal in the
summer of 2015 but has failed to win favour since Jose Mourinho took over last summer . After
starting 25 Premier League games and making four substitute appearances during
his debut campaign at Old Trafford, Schneiderlin has been limited to three
brief substitute appearances in the league this season
Speaking after the
2-0 EFL Cup semi-final first leg win over Hull City on Tuesday, Mourinho said “Ed
Woodward informed me that the
situation is close. Morgan is more than probably going to Everton. I am sad and
happy, sad because I like him and he could be an option for us, happy because
this is what he wants, to play every game and be important in the team.”
Last month,
Mourinho confirmed he would not stand in Schneiderlin's way if he wished to
leave in search of first-team football and United received an offer that
matched their valuation of the 27-year-old.
