Raya has kept eight clean sheets and made 100 saves, more than any other stopper in the league.
The 27-year-old has just entered the last 18 months of his contract at Brentford and he refused to rule out leaving the club.
Raya spoke to The Athletic saying: “I turned down two contracts, one last year and one this January.
“They weren’t the offers we were looking for. I can only say that.”
“I want to focus on playing games and not think too much about my future.
“I have a contract here, so I’m willing to finish that, but you never know what’s going to happen in the summer.
“Maybe the club wants to sell, maybe not. Maybe I want to stay. I want to focus on football and see what happens.
“The club will decide the price and if a club wants to pay money, that will be it. I’m not worried about that. I’m not in charge of that.

“I want to fight to win a European title. I trust myself to be able to play in those types of games.”
This comes as Man Utd and Spurs both reportedly keep tabs on the Spaniard.
The Red Devils could be in the market for a new number one at the end of the season with David De Gea’s contract expiring.
Meanwhile, Spurs could look to replace Hugo Lloris.
The Frenchman’s deal ends in 18 months and aged 36, a younger keeper could be wanted by the club.
