Tim Howard and the Colorado Rapids have mutual interest and is likely to arrive in the summer.

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.

The Rapids are unlikely to need to pay a transfer fee.

The source said Howard will earn between $2-3 million per year, making him easily the highest paid goalkeeper in MLS.
