Madrid set to make 'final offer' for unsettled Reyes
José Antonio Reyes yesterday said that he does not want to return
to training with Arsenal. Real Madrid will now attempt to use the
Spain international's unrest as leverage to complete his transfer,
sending a delegation to Arsenal in the next 48 hours armed with a
"final offer".
The Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein rejected Madrid's offer of £8m
when their sporting director Predrag Mijatovic visited London last
Wednesday. Dein then informed Reyes' agent, Jesús Rodríguez de
Moya, that the player was not for sale.
"It is hard to stay calm at a time like this," said Reyes. "My
intention was not to go back and get involved in training with
Arsenal.
[b]£8m only?... wat a joke! Arsenal paid a club record $17m for him
2 yrs ago only and now a slightly better player than when he first
came, Real only offering peanuts...
The amount is not even enough to cover Arsenal's installment to
Sevilla. Arsenal still owe Sevilla about $7m after paying $10m
already. So if they are to sell at $8m, they have to pay Sevilla
$7m from it and left with $1m small change after spending
$17m.
Real have to get REAL.
You pay
peanuts wait you get monkeys

him.... my guess is reyes will stay until end of season....
