Danijel Pranjic has blasted Bayern Munich and claims the German side priced him out of a move to Everton.
The 30-year-old had his heart set on a move to Goodison Park after being offered a two-and-a-half-year deal but the move collapsed after Bayern asked for too much cash.
The midfielder, who is struggling for first team action and was hoping for a fresh start with Everton, says he is furious with Bayern for shattering his dream.
"I had an agreement with Everton for two-and-a-half years," he told Sportske Novosti. "I was ready to board a plane and I was really happy because I knew that Everton were serious and that they had big plans for me.
"
But now it is all over and this is a catastrophe.
I can't describe the negative feelings I have.
Bayern wanted so much money that everybody knew that Everton would not pay.
"I'm so unhappy because I was sure that I would be leaving Bayern. I don't play and now the opportunity to play in the Premier League has gone. I'm so unhappy."
