Mourinho and Robson almost signed Henry for Barcelona
Now, after spending eight years of eight years of script in north London, Arsenal’s record-breaker scorer, Henry, signed from Juventus in 1999.
He won two Premier League titles at Highbury and canceled the FA Cup three times, one of the best players of the top flight ever.
Juventus only France advanced for a few months before selling him to the Gunners, who signed him from Monaco.
But Mourinho revealed in 2014 that during his time as Barcelona assistant manager Bobby Robson, the Catalan Giants were “inches” away from Monaco’s signing Henry.
“When I worked as an assistant in Barcelona with (Bobby) Mr. Robson in 1996 (we tried to sign him). He was in Monaco, he went to Juventus and we lost an inch. After that, he wasn’t on my radar because it was never possible to come to my team. Can you imagine leaving Arsenal to come to Chelsea at that moment? I wouldn’t have imagined it.
“He’s the kind of player you always need, especially in the Premier League, he’s better than anywhere else. He’s OK with Barcelona and (France) national teams, but the real Thierry Henry, the player we’ll miss forever, is making the incredible season and incredible season history in the Premier League.”
Henry would compete with Mourinho many times, but never worked under the leadership of the Portuguese boss, who called Henry “one of the great men of all time.”
