Everton manager David Moyes has admitted that the club's top players could leave over the summer if they do not secure European football.
Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines have been rumoured as two names who could leave Goodison Park at the end of the season.
"If we have top players and cannot give them trophies or European football, I may have to accept what they're thinking," The Sun quotes Moyes as saying.
Everton last took part in European competition in 2010 when they suffered an early exit in the Europa League.
