"It's still not been confirmed," the spokesman said denying the reports saying that the 29-year-old striker penned a four year deal.

Earlier in the day the media revealed that the deal was finalized and that Henry would arrive to the Catalan metropolis on Sunday and should undergo a medical on Monday.

The France skipper has been linked with Barca over the past two years but he preferred to stay with the Gunners under the helm of his Godfather Arsene Wenger. But apparently the departure of Vice-chairman David Dein made him change his mind.

Henry will join a super star front line including Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o, Argentinean Lionel Messi and Brazilian magician Ronaldinho.

Rumors linked the arrival of Henry to a close departure of Eto’o who is on top of AC Milan’s shop list. Although Eto’o revealed that he is a close friend of the Frenchman and that he’ll partner him next season in Barca front line.
