ARSENAL striker Thierry Henry has reached a verbal agreement with Barcelona
to join the Spain champion next season, Catalonian newspaper Sport has reported.
The headline sayd:: "Henry will come in July," and the Barcelona-based
newspaper added there is a "90 per cent chance that Henry will be wearing
Barcelona colours next season".
Henry's move, according to the paper, is based on Barcelona having the squad
to win the European Champuions League, the only major title to have eluded him.
The report emphasises that neither Henry nor Barcelona will make the news
official (before the end of the season), and that the player will continue to
negotiate a contract extension at Arsenal.
Henry has continually stressed his commitment to Arsenal since arriving in
1999, but he wants to be sure the club can be competitive at the highest level
in both England and Europe before signing a new deal, perhaps the last major one
of his career.
