British newspaper The Times claims that Manchester City is planning a move for Barcelona forward and French international Thierry Henry (30) at the end of this season (read more here).
The English Premier League club is determined to compete with the established top four teams and has identified Henry as one of their leading targets, together with Bayern Munich attacker Franck Ribéry, in the pursuit of Champions League football. Chelsea defender John Terry and Blackburn Rovers forward Roque Santa Cruz are also on the target list.
Manchester City would have been working behind the scenes since January on a deal to bring Henry back to the Premier League. The French striker, whose contract with Barcelona expires in 2011, will be offered a impressive year salary and would cost around 10,5 million euro°.
The failed bid to sign AC Milan player Kaká in January has done little to discourage City from trying to land an iconic signing who can boost their profile off the pitch. It is said to be Manchester City manager Mark Hughes who would be driving the deal. He is confident that he retains the support of the club’s board and owners, but he is eager to make a big impact in the transfer market this summer.

10,5 million euro =
14,5 million us dollar
10 million british pound
If they offer 25 million euros and up i think we should accept.
What they need to do first is to get a good manager. They had one in Eriksson but Hughes certainly have strange ideas about football.
When they get that new manager they should probably aim for european competition, i. e 6th place and buy all the talent in the world, they will get better and cheaper players that way.
Dear PeP, Because Of Your Brilliant Information About The Club, I've a Question.

If everyting goes as planned, Iniesta and Touré should have the green light by then, Arian. The other two not.
