Catalan sports weekly paper Gol claims that Barcelona is considering to put Barcelona forward and French international Thierry Henry (31) for sale at the end of the season.
The club thinks the player has reached his peak this season and this could therefore be the last chance to get a decent transfer fee for Henry, whose contract expires in 2011 and who earns a net year salary of 7,5 million euro, which means a cost of 10 million euro for the club. Barcelona would want to receive a transfer fee of 15 milion euro° for the Frenchman, with Manchester City being among the candidates (read more here).
If the transfer goes through, Barcelona plans to sign a new left winger. Two names are being put forward: Bayern Munich attacker and French international Franck Ribéry (25) and Arsenal winger and Dutch international Robin van Persie (25). The latter would have the support of former Barcelona player and manager Johan Cruijff.
