Hagman, now in Györ, Hungary, will move home to Stockholm this summer. His girlfriend and former national team colleague Daniela de Jong, who is rehabilitating from a back injury, already lives there.

"It's clear that it's tempting to start a family in the near future," Hagman tells Aftonbladet.

The right-back has played 259 international matches. Only Jamina Roberts (271) has represented the women's national team more times. Last week, the duo announced that they will play their final international matches during the European Championship qualifiers in April.

In Györ, Nathalie Hagman dreams of ending her only season at the club on a high. Györ are the reigning Champions League champions and have now reached the quarter-finals of the tournament that Hagman has never won.
