Arsenal forward Jose Antonio Reyes' agent has confirmed
negotiations are continuing in a bid to secure a permanent move to
Real Madrid.
The Spain international spent last season on-loan at Madrid,
helping them win the Primera Liga title, and is eager to remain at
the Bernabeu.
His agent Jesus Rodriguez de Moya said: '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 20 million euros (£13.6million) but
they are asking for a reasonable fee in accordance with what they
paid to Sevilla. The negotiations are on the table.'
The 23-year-old, who joined Arsenal from Sevilla for £9million in
January 2004, scored twice as Madrid clinched the league title with
a final-day 3-1 defeat of Real Zaragoza.
