Madrid sports tabloid As claims that Barcelona is considering selling Barcelona forward and French international Thierry Henry (31) in the summer.While Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola and his staff are more than satisfied with the performances of Henry this season, the board and some members of the football department would like to put Henry for sale at the end of the season. They think this is the last chance to get a decent transfer fee for the striker whose contract expires in 2011.
If Henry would leave, something that in the end will depend on Guardiola, the club has two players in mind to replace him: Bayern Munich wing attacker and French international Franck Ribéry (25) and Bordeaux attacker and AC Milan loan out Yoann Gourcuff (22) .
Italian sports site Sportmediaset meanwhile claims that Barcelona has already asked for Gourcuff. Milan would want to use the transfer fee of 15 million euro° to buy David Beckham from Los Angeles Galaxy. Bordeaux has also an option to sign the French international permanently for the same amount before 1 July.
