Birmingham City midfielder Sebastian Larsson admits his future at the club is still up in the air.
The 25-year-old winger has forced his way into the Sweden set-up this year with a string of impressive performances at St Andrews, including scoring a penalty in Blues' Carling Cup triumph over Aston Villa.
But the former Arsenal trainee has yet to agree a new deal in the Midlands with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
And Larsson has warned Birmingham fans that there are no guarantees that he will stay at the club next summer.
Larsson, who has been linked with Liverpool and Everton, confessed: "By no means am I not signing, but I couldn't promise anyone that I will sign either.
"I am just being honest about the situation.
"My contract is running out, we have not agreed anything. We'll keep working hard, and I'll see what happens.
"I would like more talks, but at the moment I don't know if any dates are planned."
That means that boss Alex McLeish risks losing one of his brightest stars for nothing, and he will want Birmingham's Chinese owners to up their offer to keep Larsson.
But the player insists it is not only money that will decide his future, adding: "I'd like to stay if we can find an agreement where everybody is happy. This season I am enjoying my football more than ever and the manager has been a big help to me.
"I am 25 and of course my next contract is a big one for me. It's an important part of my career. I am just being honest.
"It is not just financial, it is a lot to do with where the club wants to go, and if we can match each other.
"You just want to know the club is going forward. I've no idea how much the owners want to spend. For me you just want to be as successful as you can."
