Barcelona striker Thierry Henry could be offloaded at the end of the season, despite his great form, in a bid to boost the Spanish giants’ coffers, Spanish sports daily AS claimed Wednesday.
The 31-year-old France international is under contract with Barcelona until 2011 but AS said that Nou Camp chiefs want to cash in by selling the former Arsenal striker at the end of this season.
Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola is said to be a big fan of Henry, however the report claims the club has already identified two possible replacements in Frank Ribery of Bayern Munich or Yoann Gourcuff of Bordeaux.
Henry signed with Barcelona from English Premier League side Arsenal in June 2007 in a deal worth 24 million euros (35 million dollars).
