PSV Eindhoven winger Ibrahim Afellay claims he rejected a summer move to Everton.
The Holland international revealed the Toffees made a bid for his services during the recent transfer window, but the 24-year-old insists he is only interested in a move to Spain.
Afellay said: “There were several clubs that tried to sign me this summer.
“Hamburg and Everton wanted me, but there has to be a good feeling with a club, and that was not the case, so I decided to stay at PSV.
“I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I’m aiming too high, but I don’t care about that.
“I’d prefer to move to Spain. The Primera Division is a great league and Valencia, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid are all good teams.
“My colleagues in the Netherlands national side have told me about Spain and I’d be happy to play there.”
