Barcelona have reached an agreement with Thierry Henry
allowing the striker to leave the club.
The 32-year-old forward has long been linked with a move to
America, where Major League Soccer outfit New York Red Bulls are
favourites to land his signature.
Henry, who moved to Camp Nou from Arsenal for €24million in
2007, has not produced his form of old during his time in Spain and
is not in manager Pep Guardiola's plans for next season.
He was not regarded as first choice last term as Barca once more
clinched the Primera Liga title ahead of rivals Real Madrid.
Henry's contract was due to run until June 2011 but a deal has
been reached allowing the Frenchman to depart Catalonia.
Barcelona director general Joan Oliver said: "It was a special
position with the player and we have accepted.
"For Barca it is not a bad agreement because we avoid paying him
next season."
Henry has just endured a torrid World Cup campaign with France,
and the former Gunner is now expected to move on to pastures
new.
