Everton could be about to wave goodbye to Morgan Schneiderlin with French side OGC Nice reportedly set to lure the midfielder back to his home country – and Everton supporters have reacted on Twitter to the news.

Schneiderlin, 30, has managed just four Premier League appearances under Carlo Ancelotti since the former PSG, Bayern Munich and Chelsea manager took over from Marco Silva in December.

The France international was previously linked with the exit but now a departure seems inevitable given he has plummeted down the pecking order at Goodison Park – behind Tom Davies, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Andre Gomes.

French newspaper Nice Matin have reported that Patrick Vieira’s OGC Nice are looking to sign Schneiderlin, and are in advanced talks to complete a move to sign the former Manchester United and Southampton star.

The £100,000-a-week (Spotrac) midfielder is set to enter the final 12 months of his contract on Merseyside, making the upcoming summer window the last chance for Everton to sell him to a foreign club – and bring in some cash.

Everton supporters have reacted on Twitter to the reported news that Nice are close to signing Schneiderlin this summer, and many are relieved that the midfielder, an unused sub in the Euro 2016 final, is finally set to depart the club.
