Thierry Henry has hinted he may leave Barcelona during the January transfer window unless he gets more playing time as a centre forward.
The former Arsenal star has been rumoured to be unhappy at the Nou Camp this season because he is being played out of position on the left wing or picked among the substitutes.
And in an interview with French sport daily L'Equipe, Henry confirmed he had talks with Barca boss Pep Guardiola on the issue at the beginning of the season but may restate his concerns if the situation does not change.
"For now, it is not a topical matter," the France international said.
"But if things stay the same, of course we will have to talk about this."
Henry had been expected to be a first-choice striker under Guardiola after the Spaniard declared he was looking to sell Samuel Eto'o.
However, the Cameroon has forced his way back into the team this season and looks to be first choice ahead of Henry, who turned down offers from other clubs during the summer.
"It is true I had a talk with the coach before the season began," Henry added.
"For me, this talk was very clear."
