Jose Antonio Reyes has denied that a deal has been
struck to make his loan move to Real Madrid permanent, amid reports
that Arsenal have agreed to sell him.
The Spain international is desperate to stay at the Bernabeu and
has let the Gunners know that he does want to return to
England.
A 10million deal was said to have been struck between Arsenal and
Madrid, but Reyes has now claimed that nothing has been
confirmed.
"No agreement has been reached," he said at a Nike Soccer Camp.
"But I do expect the situation to be solved as soon as
possible.
"But I want to win everything that there is and if that can happen
at Real Madrid, then that would be perfect.
Arsenal paid around 20million to sign Reyes from Sevilla in 2004
and he impressed at Highbury during his first two seasons in the
Premiership.
After failing to adapt to life in England though, the 23-year-old
forced a move back to Spain last summer and he spent last term on
loan at Madrid.
Now he wants to remain in la Primera and believes that he would fit
in well under new coach Bernd Schusyer.
"I think that Madrid are going to play a lot better under the new
German coach," Reyes continued, before stating his main dislike of
London life.
"The rain was one of the main reasons that I could not adjust to
life over there."
His agent Jesus Rodriguez de Moya explained recently that Arsenal
have agreed to allow him to leave for less than they paid and that
talks are continuing.
"Reyes doesn't want to return to London.
"If the logical steps are taken, Reyes will be a Madrid player next
year.
"Arsenal are not asking for 20million (£13.6million) but they are
asking for a reasonable fee in accordance with what they paid to
Sevilla. The negotiations are on the table."
