thierry_henry_fc_barcelona_cropped.jpgSoccer legend Thierry Henry says he’ll play for Barcelona next season, putting to rest a week’s worth of rumors that he’d move to Arsenal, Chelsea, or even our beloved Sounders.

Henry told Le Parisien: “I do not want to leave. I still have three years left on my contract here and I will still be here next year.”

That would seem to be definitive, though more rumors spread on the Interwebs that Italian side Inter Milan might want Henry’s services.

With legendary international teams like these after Henry, it seems very unlikely that he’d want to play MLS (especially with the dollar where it is), but who knows.

If Henry had as bad a year with Barca last year as he did this time, maybe he’d consider spending the summer with the ‘09 Sounders, much as David Beckham joined the LA Galaxy in ‘07 after a full season with Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Henry gears up for Euro 2008, which starts on June 7, and should be damned exciting.
