the transfer thread has disappeared so this goes here

Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, gave a strong indication yesterday that the club have agreed terms with Henrik Larsson, a free agent after leaving Celtic

"Larsson needs to finish the championship because he is playing very well and we don't want to disturb him," Laporta said in Lisbon.

"But he knows that the offer will be waiting for him. We're interested in him. We know that he's a player with experience. The offer maybe for two years."
