According to a report from Mark Irwin in the The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling newspaper, Thierry Henry could be on his way to Seattle when MLS's next franchise joins the league in 2009.

The Barcelona striker is unsettled at the Camp Nou and with the Spanish club planning a summer cleaning, he could be on his way out.

Henry has previously stated his love of New York and his desire to finish his career there, but he could be tempted by the deep pockets of Seattle owner Paul Allen.

The figure of 150,000 pounds a week (approximately $300,000) that is quoted seems slightly excessive, despite Allen's incredible wealth.

At 30, Henry still has much to offer and would be a nightmare for MLS defenders to deal with. However, if he does set his heart on a move to MLS, the New York Red Bulls cannot be counted out of the race to sign him.

Even though New York already has two designated players and two quality strikers in Juan Pablo Angel and the Europe-bound Jozy Altidore, the Red Bull company would bend over backwards to find a way to bring Henry in.
