Inter eye Henry & Van Nistelrooy
Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti has opened the door to a move for Thierry Henry - but admits Ruud van Nistelrooy is a more realistic transfer target.
The 28-year-old Henry is discussing a new contract at Arsenal, while Van Nistelrooy, 29, has lost his place to Louis Saha at Manchester United.
Moratti said: "Henry is a player I enjoy watching.
"The difference between Henry and Van Nistelrooy is I know Van Nistelrooy is not happy in Manchester."
Moratti said on the club's website: "I think the Frenchman is happy in London and Arsenal are preparing a contract extension for him.
"Hence, they have first choice. It would be a different situation if the player wanted to have another experience elsewhere."
Henry's Arsenal deal expires in the summer of 2007 and he has been linked with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Arsenal are hoping he will sign an extension - but if he fails to agree a new deal his fee will fall next season.
Moratti said: "We wouldn't take advantage of this as it wouldn't be an honourable move. We don't do this between big clubs."
Henry had an unsuccessful stint with Juventus in 1998-99, but is now among the world's most prized stars.
United are adamant Van Nistelrooy will not be sold in the summer, but Moratti believes he would be a more attainable target.
"Van Nistelrooy is a very good forward," Moratti told www.gazzetta.it.

Nistelrooy = NO
Henry = hinted that he wants out of Arsenal but to where...i've heard Barca is his first choice
Canuck:
i really hopes Henry stays, and i think he will. Going to Madrid is suicide, Adrianno and Henry or Eto'o and Henry would sound really good though

but Arsenal are falling apart. losing vieira was crazy and the only reason they are doing really well is bcoz of henry.
2/3 years ago with their unbeatenness and whatnot they had ppl playing well who are now ageing, i.e. pires, campbell.
i really think henry might move. him, eto'o, messi, xavi, deco, and also that brazilian guy...eh...ronaldinho = my goodness
