Steven Pienaar has urged Everton to offer him a new contract as he admits he could be tempted by a switch to Atletico Madrid.
Along with Tottenham and Russian side Rubin Kazan, Atleti have been linked with a move for Pienaar and the player admits that he has always dreamed of a move to Spain.
However, the 27-year-old South Africa midfielder insists he is happy at Goodison Park and would ideally like to sign a new long-term deal at the club.
“It is true that I only have two years remaining on my contract,” he told Kick Off.
“It has been a happy two years at the club so far and I am delighted to have played a small part in the success we have achieved in finishing fifth in consecutive seasons and reaching the FA Cup final, but you never know in football what tomorrow will bring.
“Who knows in one or two years’ time where I will be?
“I am a proud Everton player at present and would welcome it if the club moved to secure my long-term future, but that kind of thing is out of my hands.”
He added: “I have played in a number of the best leagues in the world, and it has always been my ambition to test myself in La Liga.
“For a player of my type, La Liga will always be an attraction and to play in the Champions League again would be a real thrill.
“I enjoyed playing in the Champions League with Ajax and have been really pleased when I see how my ex-teammates like Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart have gone on to excel in Spain.
“But at this time I can only reiterate that any speculation regarding my future is exactly that.”
