Somebody snitched. That whole questioning Varys' loyalties, then Euron knows right where to find the fleet? C'mon...
Euron was most likely tracking Yara, as he know she had aligned with Daenerys from his conversation with Cersei in 701. But yes, Varys plotted with Illyrio behind the Baratheon's/Lannister's backs for 15 years for Viserys to take the throne, stole away the night of Tywin's murder with the suspect on a whim to assist Daenerys' claim, only to turn on her because he really thinks a pyromaniac & pirate-maniac are a suitable combo to protect the realm.
tl;dr
No.
I'm not saying it was Varys, but someone in that room said something.
Cersei knew in episode 1 that Daenerys was allied with the Tyrells, Martells, Grejoys, and Tyrion. Jaime pointed out that they would land at Dragonstone. They then had a discussion with Euron, who is now or was already privy to this knowledge. The path from King's Landing to Dragonstone is an easy one. If they're not there, the easiest guess to take is that they headed south towards any of the rebelling strongholds. All one has to do is head south to find Yara's huge fleet. No one needed to snitch in order for this information to get out. But if you're questioning motives, let's break it down:
Illaria - Has been seeking revenge for Oberyn's murder and his family's murder for years from the Lannisters; has nothing to gain by allying with the Lannisters or Euron.
Olenna - Her entire family was murdered by Cersei.
Tyrion - LOL
Yara - Her uncle usurped the crown from her.
Greyworm - Daenerys freed him and he is one of the only characters who has a steadfast moral compass. He's never wavered in that.
Missendei - ^
Theon - Obviously no.
Varys - Though a tricky guy to pin down, I truly believe after 7 seasons that he wants the best for the realm as he's constantly stated. That is so very clearly not Euron & Cersei.
Let's extend this to Melisandre, just cause she's there creepin' - She is so woefully unconcerned by Cersei & Euron, other than she doesn't want them to interfere with the war to the north. Her snitching to Cersei does not help her cause.
