Barca open to Henry move

Barcelona are ready to make another approach for Arsenal striker Thierry Henry if the Frenchman indicates his desire to leave England.

The 29-year-old committed his future to the Gunners last summer amid interest from Barca but the Catalan club's sporting director Txiki Beguiristain revealed they are waiting for Henry to show his hand.

"If he has the desire to play here, then we can see if it's going to happen or not," Beguiristain said.

"Barcelona remains the same. It is the perfect place for players who want to come here. I always say the same thing - it's down to the players to decide."

One who hopes Henry decides to come to the Nou Camp is his international team-mate Lilian Thuram.

"It would be great if he came to Barcelona. It would very good for the club because he's a great player - and for him it would be positive too because this club is ideal for him," he said.
