Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has long been linked with a move away from the gunners in the summer, but Real Madrid honorary president Alfredo di Stefano is not convinced that Madrid will be his destination, should the Frenchman decide to move. Madrid apparently turned down the chance to sign Henry back in 1998, before he moved to Juventus prompting Di Stefano to state on Punto Radio:

"We already had him (Henry) eight years ago and they (club executives) didn't want him."

"Is he going to join us now that he is eight years older?"

Although he may not be Madrid bound it is certain that there will be no shortage of offers for Henry, as Arsenal battle to keep their talisman.
