According to People magazine, coach Sven Goran Eriksson put the France ace on top of his wish list to make Manchester City challenge for a Champions League spot next season.

Eriksson has been promised a £60m budget next season to accomplish his target and he is ready to spend £13m in order to bring the Frenchman back to England.

The 30-year old striker spent eight successful years with Arsenal but failed to reproduce his brilliant form with the Catalans and has been complaining for playing out-of-position in Frank Rijkaard's 4-3-3 formation.

The report suggested that Henry could be tempted by the offer to settle some personal problems.

The Barcelona number 14 had to leave his wife and son in England to complete his move to the Nou Camp.

Although, it won't be easy to convince the Barcelona president Joan Laporta to release his £16.1m-marksman after having courted him for many years.
