South African international Steven Pienaar has admitted he could move on after contract talks with the Everton have "gone quiet".
The midfielder has been linked with a move away from Merseyside fter enjoying a great run of form this season.
"There have been talks about a new deal at Everton, but that seems to have gone quiet," he told the Daily Mail.
"It was always a dream to play in the Premier League, and my focus is fully on getting us to where we want to be this season.
"There are always rumours, and Bayern Munich keep being mentioned, but I am not aware of anything happening."
But the opportunity to ply his trade elsewhere is still something that would temped the impish midfielder.
"I am an adventurous person," he added. "I am always looking to learn new things, and if there was an opportunity to return to Holland or Germany, or try a new country like Russia, I would look at it.
"Chances to experience different people and a new culture don’t always come along more than once in a lifetime, and I would consider it, just as I would consider staying with Everton."
Pienaar joined Everton on loan for the duration of the 2007-08 from German side Borussia Dortmund and the 27-year-old later signed a 3-year contract for a pre-agreed fee of £2 million in April 2008.
The South African will also be hoping to continue his run of form into this weekend's Merseyside derby and this summer's World Cup in his home country.
