Daily Star: Henry to snub EPL for MLS


According to The Daily Star Sunday, a British tabloid (so take it with a hunk of salt), Barcelona striker Thierry Henry will refuse a move back to the English Premier League in favor of a "£5million-a-year deal in America's Major Soccer League."

In dollars, it would be nearly $10 million per year, so any deal would need to be structured similarly to Beckham's (meaning Henry would essentially be paid by sponsors and would own a sizable chunk of future profits made off his image, etc.). Again, this is probably rubbish, but I'm sure there are 16 teams, their front offices, fans, even the water boys hoping to see the Frenchman in their colors.
