Celtic star Henrik Larsson has warned he may retire from the game rather than accept a lucrative Bosman move in the summer.
The Bhoys legend is out of contract in June and has already attracted interest from Newcastle United and Barcelona.
After much speculation concerning his next destination, the Swede appears to be growing tired of the rumours and has sensationally claimed he may quit football altogether.
"I might quit football after this season and move home to Helsingborg," he told Expressen.
"That's as probable as me deciding to keep playing.
"This guessing game is just annoying.
"I will not get in contact with other teams. Everything has to go through my agent and we will agree what will happen when my contract with Celtic runs out."
It would seem that Larsson is trying to make a point to dampen all the talk of signing a pre-contract with one of his suitors, in order to concentrate on ending his Parkhead days on a high, before sealing one last high-profile move.
