"It's flattering that people are interested but nothing has changed for my part. For one thing I have a little more to think over than the European Championships," added Larsson, who is still trying to find a new club for the end of the season.

Larsson quit the international scene following the 2002 World Cup, but made a one-off appearance last year for the Swedes because of an injury crisis in the squad.
