PARIS (AFP) - Thierry Henry has insisted he will stay for at least another year with Barcelona despite a mixed first season in Spanish football.
"As for my future, I do not want to leave," he told Le Parisien newspaper. "I still have three years to run on my contract here (at Barcelona) and I will still be here next year."
The French international striker joined Barcelona at the end of last season after years of success at Arsenal in the English Premier League but he has struggled to nail down a regular first team place.
The Catalan side meanwhile have failed to win a trophy for the second straight year and coach Frank Rijkaard is widely believed to be on his way out at the end of the season.
Henry will be a key figure for France at next month's Euro 2008 championships in Austria and Switzerland. He is his country's all-time record goal-scorer with 44.

Good Henry! I really hope he stays... and I want Ronaldinho and Rikjaard to stay to... A team has to take care of there players... They can't just push aside and sell them when the're not on top...Zambrotta should stay to, he has had a good season... and he's betterthan Milito for example

I don't believe that there is any club in Europe that would be interested in buying Thierry Henry, because he's past his sell-by date. So, unless he's interested in playing for some lesser club in the Premier League, he'll be staying at Barcelona.Zambrotta is another story, because AC MIlan seem to be interested in getting his services; that would be a good move for him.

Henry-arguably one of the worst buys in the spanish league history.Zambrotta- IMHO one of the best players Barca had this season.
For me it's too obvious who should stay and who should go.
