Everton are expected to wrap up the projected £31 million signing of England centre-half Michael Keane from Burnley early next week as the Merseyside club’s ambitious summer spending nears the £100 million mark.

Burnley will receive an initial £25 million fee for Keane with a further £6 million payable in adds on depending on the defender’s success at Goodison Park.

Manchester United will receive 25 per cent of the transfer fee under the terms of a sell on clause they negotiated when they sold Keane to Burnley for £2 million in January 2015. That equates to an initial £6.25 million and potentially as much as £7.75 million meaning Burnley stand to earn a maximum £23.25 from the transfer.

Keane had set his sights on a return to Old Trafford after being sold on United’s plans going forward but the Manchester club’s subsequent £30.7 million purchase of Sweden centre-half Victor Lindelof from Benfica forced a rethink from the England international, who wanted regular first time football.

With uncertainty over Chris Smalling’s future at United, Jose Mourinho has been in the market for two centre-halves.
