AC Milan chiefs are ready to launch their bid for Arsenal captain Thierry Henry.
Milan insiders are convinced they can beat Barcelona for the Frenchman, particularly after his scathing attack on Barca's 'divers' at the end of last night's Champions League final.
Henry's lambasting of Barcelona players and their play-acting will not have gone down well inside the opposition dressing room and has only further convinced Milan they can land the Frenchman.
The striker's defection from Nike to Reebok is also a decision in Milan's favour, though Henry is unlikely to make his choice based on his new sponsor.
Milan intend to use the £34 million raised from Andriy Shevchenko's sale to Chelsea to fund their deal for Henry. Milan and Chelsea officials met yesterday in Paris to discuss terms over the Ukrainian.
Milan will offer £10 million to Arsenal for Henry and table a five-year contract worth £18 million to the Frenchman's advisors in the coming days.
