Inter Milan are ready to test Arsenal's resolve to keep
Thierry Henry at the Emirates Stadium by bidding £15million for the
France striker. The Serie A giants want the prolific Premiership
poacher as a replacement for Alvaro Recoba who is heading to
Atletico Madrid next month. And they have been alerted by reports
Henry is unsettled in North London following the departure from the
Arsenal board of his close friend David Dein.
Barcelona have also expressed a desire to lure the World Cup winner
to the Nou Camp and a bidding war could erupt over his service with
the price for any successful capture nearing £22million. The Daily
Express reports that Henry, who played for Juventus before being
plucked by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, would relish teaming up with
former Highbury team-mate Patrick Vieira.
Wenger's own future with Arsenal is unclear and Inter president
Massimo Moratti, who tried to sign Henry three years ago, is eager
to capitalise on the current turmoil at the London club.
