Croatia international Danijel Pranjic claims he was on the brink of agreeing a move to Everton, only for Bayern Munich's money demands to scrap the transfer.

Pranjic, who can operate on the left side of defence or midfield, was open to a Bayern exit after falling out of favour at the club.

"I had an agreement with Everton for two-and-a-half years," the 30-year-old 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."

Everton boss David Moyes was busy on the final day of the transfer window, bringing in Nikica Jelavic and Steven Pienaar.
