Barcelona have offered Samuel Eto'o to Arsenal as a makeweight for Thierry Henry, according to reports in Spain.
Spanish daily Marca claims Barca are ready to part with the Cameroonian striker plus €25million (£17million) in order to bring Henry to Camp Nou.
The report says negotiations between Barca sport director Txiki Beguiristain and his Arsenal counterparts are already well advanced.
It also says the deal has met with approval from Arsene Wenger and the two players.
Eto'o's future has been the subject of speculation for some time and he has expressed a liking for the English game.
Henry has continued to be linked with Barca following Arsenal's disappointing season, even though he signed a long-term deal with The Gunners last summer.
Wenger guaranteed that his talismanic captain would not be sold earlier this month, while Henry has assured fans previously that his future remains in London.
Barcelona have yet to confirm whether there is any substance in the report, while Eto'o is currently away on international duty with Cameroon and has not commented.
