Henry in secret deal to join Barcelona, Spanish paper says

ARSENAL striker Thierry Henry has reached a verbal agreement with Barcelona to join the Spanish champions next season, Catalonian newspaper Sport reported yesterday.

The headline read: “Henry will come in July,” and the Barcelona based newspaper added there was a “90% chance that Henry would be wearing Barca colours next season.”

Henry’s move, the paper said, was based on Barcelona having the squad to win the Champions League, the only major title to have eluded him.
