Everton legend Tim Cahill admits he considered an offer from Real Sociedad.
Cahill has left New York Red Bulls for Shanghai Shenhua.
He told Foxsports: "I'm proud to announce my next move will be to China to Shanghai Shenhua.
"Basically I spent most of the morning on the phone to the boys. I spoke to (former NY team-mate) Thierry Henry via text and Bill Kenwright at Everton and Ange Postecoglou. Spoke to Moyes about possibly going to La Liga.
"'Cause I've done the Premier League, 'cause I've done America .... China is a growing market for football. I'm at an age when I want to give back to football and still play at a high level."
