Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is being lined up for a move to Manchester City.
The Daily Mail says the European champions want to sign Manchester City forward Robinho in the winter transfer window and are preparing to offer Henry in part exchange.
And Robinho can hardly contain his glee at the prospect of joining up with the likes of Argentina playmaker Lionel Messi.
It is suggested that Mark Hughes would not be averse to losing Robinho, but the club's ambitious owners would want a player of similar stature in return, and Henry fits the bill.
