Gunners reject Baptista
Arsenal will not keep on-loan striker Julio Baptista, according to
reports in Spain.
The Brazilian, who is on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, has
taken time to adapt to life in England, but has found some
consistency of late.
However, it appears Baptista's form has come too late for Arsene
Wenger, who has according to 'Marca' rejected the chance to keep
his services at the Emirates permanently.
Baptista, who is due to land a Spanish passport this month, is
believed to have asked his agent to review his options, with offers
from Germany and Turkey reportedly on the table.
Meanwhile, Jose Antonio Reyes, who has spent this season on loan
with Real, is unsure of his future as the Liga giants do not want
to push through a deal.
Atletico Madrid are keen on the former Sevilla man and are keen to
hold a meeting with Arsenal to discuss securing his services from
The Gunners.
