James McCarthy's new contract talks with Everton have stalled.
The Daily Star Sunday says Everton are understood to have made promises to improve terms based on his performances and McCarthy believes he has met those targets.
However, despite recent noises that the club were poised to sit down an open negotiations, talks have yet to take place.
Manchester United and City both have an interest as do Tottenham who were keen to sign McCarthy prior to his Goodison move.
