Tim Howard is on the verge of completing a move from Everton to the Colorado Rapids of the MLS.

Colorado's interest in Howard first surfaced in January, shortly after it acquired the top spot in the MLS allocation order, which gave the team first crack at a set list of U.S. internationals and former MLS players who might be interested in coming to the league.

After initially saying Howard could leave on a free transfer, Everton then asked for a fee that was eventually agreed upon somewhere between $600,000 and $750,000.

Howard also initially asked for a four-year deal worth $5 million annually but his agreed upon salary will be approximately $2 million.
