Everton have accepted a bid from an unnamed club for Steven Pienaar, manager David Moyes has confirmed.
Pienaar, 28, is out of contract at the end of the season and has been expected to leave Goodison Park, either during the current transfer window or in the summer.
Talks with reigning Premier League champions Chelsea have reportedly broken down, and there are now suggestions that one of Europe’s biggest clubs have made a play for the South Africa international, with Moyes admitting that a bid has been accepted by the Merseyside club.
The Everton boss: “We have had two offers and one of those offers has been accepted.
“We have allowed his representatives to speak to the other club, but whether it goes through or not I don't know yet.”
Moyes added: “I think the player probably decided that (he was going to leave) when he turned down his contract six months or a year ago, whenever it was.
“But he has done very well for us on the pitch, so we have no complaints.”
