Jake Mulraney is in the United States to complete the formalities on a stunning move to Atlanta United.
Hearts have accepted a fee in the low six-figures for the winger and a contract has already been agreed between the player and the MLS club.
While the rest of the Jambos squad were preparing to face Ross County in Dingwall, Mulraney jetted out to the the States on Wednesday to carry out the final details of the transfer.
He will work under Netherlands legend Frank de Boer with the 2018 title winners.
The move is expected to be officially announced on Thursday, with the funds being made available to head coach Daniel Stendel as he seeks to rebuild the squad at Tynecastle.
Mulraney’s departure has been a whirlwind one, given he only signed an extended contract until the summer of 2022 last July after impressing ex-boss Craig Levein .
However, he was swiftly deemed surplus to requirements by Stendel and will leave the club after making 52 appearances in 18 months, scoring two goals.
Mulraney, who also enjoyed 64 outings for Inverness prior to joining Hearts, is unlikely to be the last player to head for the exit door this month, as talks with Arbroath regarding a loan deal for Craig Wighton continue.
Former skipper Christophe Berra and third-choice goalkeeper Colin Doyle are also free to find new clubs.
