EuroSport Paper Round: Jamie Vardy's release clause and Everton's £40m bid for Joe Hart

Champions League clubs alerted by Vardy exit clause

Potential suitors for Leicester City star Jamie Vardy have been alerted by a £20 million exit clause in his contract - reports The Daily Mail. England striker Vardy recently stressed that he is keen to stay at the
King  Power after firing the Foxes to the Premier League title, but the improved contract that he signed in February includes a £20m exit fee for Champions League clubs. Vardy has drawn particular interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and West Ham, while Manchester City are also said to be interested.

Everton attempt shock Hart swoop

Everton are looking to pull off an extraordinary transfer coup with a £40m bid for England No. 1 Joe Hart - reports The Sun. Farhad Moshiri has brought spending power to Goodison Park after his takeover, and Manchester City's goalkeeper is top of the new owner's wish-list after disappointing displays by Joel Robles between the sticks this year. New City boss Pep Guardiola is believed to be willing to listen to offers for Hart, while a £200,000-a-week contract could tempt the stopper into a switch.

Mourinho wants Matic at Manchester United

Jose Mourinho has moved his home up from London and seems to be intent on bringing Nemanja Matic up to Manchester too, says The Daily Mail. The central midfielder was a pivotal part of Mourinho's title-winning side at Chelsea before things fell apart for the manager at Stamford Bridge, and it would reportedly cost around £25m for United to secure Matic's services. Mourinho also wants to bring Everton's John Stones and Real Madrid's Raphael Varane to Old Trafford as part of a £200m spending spree.

Spurs move to solve their striker shortage

Tottenham Hotspur have already strengthened their squad by bringing in Sao Paulo forward Jonathan Calleri, according to The Sun. Spurs had just one striker on their books for the 2015-16 season and have moved quickly to address the squad's weakness with a "verbal agreement" for Calleri, which has been revealed by the player's father and agent Guillermo Calleri.
