Barca won't rule out Henry
Barcelona sporting director Txiki Beguiristain has told Sky Sports that the Catalan giants would be open to reigniting their interest in Thierry Henry if the striker shows an interest in leaving Arsenal.
Henry rejected the chance to join Barca in order to commit his future to The Gunners last summer, but talk of a switch to Camp Nou has refused to subside and reports indicate that he is again being courted by the Liga champions.
Whilst both Henry and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger have maintained in public that the club's all-time record goalscorer will not be leaving Emirates Stadium, Spanish sources claim that negotiations have already begun behind the scenes.
In light of Henry's apparent u-turn last summer, Barca are reluctant to put all their eggs in one basket, but Beguiristain has left the door open to a potential transfer should Henry decide his future lies away from London.
"When great players show this desire to play for Barcelona, then we can talk and see if their arrival will be beneficial to the balancing of the squad as a whole," the Barca supremo told Sky Sports.
"It seemed like he wanted to come and play here for a while [last year], but then he changed his mind and decided to stay where he was.
"There was initial contact as we thought he was keen to come but it was fairly pointless as he had changed his mind and wanted to stay put, so we let it drop." -
If Barca has the money, why not?
It'll be exciting to watch Messi, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Henry & Deco run riot at opponents defence.
Cheers.
