Real Madrid made Ronaldo swap offer for Arsenal's Henry

Real Madrid have offered Brazilian striker Ronaldo to Arsenal in a straight swap for Thierry Henry.
 
The News of the World says Real made their cheeky bid just hours before Arsenal's brilliant 1-0 Champions League win at the Bernabeu last Tuesday.

Real president Florentino Perez received a resounding NO from Arsenal in his bid to prize Henry away by offering Ronaldo as bait.

And that is what led him to say: "Arsenal want Henry to stay there and I believe he will be playing there next season."

Henry has yet to sign a new £35million five-year deal on offer at Highbury although he has said he will stay at Highbury.

However if he was to quit at the end of the season Barcelona are the favourites to nab him.
