Reyes completes move to Atletico 
 
Winger Reyes is set to join Real's city rivals
Arsenal have confirmed that Jose Antonio Reyes has joined Atletico Madrid for an undisclosed fee.
Reyes, who is set to sign a four-year deal, will have a medical on Tuesday before being officially unveiled.

Atletico were seen as favourites to sign the 23-year-old for a reported £6m after Real Madrid apparently refused to offer more than £4m.

Reyes was on loan with Real last season and scored the vital goals against Mallorca to help the side to La Liga.

An Arsenal statement said: "Everyone at Arsenal thanks Jose Antonio for his contribution to the club and wishes him the best of luck for the future."

The winger was close to joining Atletico last summer, signing a pre-contract deal, before opting to join city rivals.

Lyon also made a bid for Reyes, who cost Arsenal £10.5m when he arrived from Sevilla four years ago, but they all but admitted defeat after the player said he wanted to remain in Spain.

Reyes, who has won 21 caps for Spain, made a total of 110 appearances for the Gunners and scored 23 goals.

He made 30 appearances with Real, mostly as a substitute, and scored six league goals.

Given that Reyes mostly occupy room on the bench at Real..that is not exactly great news for Robben

..more like building up even more funds for a final Kaka raid

Trust meh, if the price is right, Milan will grudgingly sell.

Yes Kaka is unique and the best in his position right now, but with all that money they will acquire a sufficient replacement.

Maybe Ronaldinho....ent Filho?

Wouldn't be much a surprise, but they should really hold on to Kaka for another season or two.  Italian teams are noted for selling big name players amongst themselves, much less for an offer from a team outside of Serie A.

If the price is right indeed. Right now it's up to 90 million Euros...123 million US dollars.

heheheh...anything possible. But I really hope Ronnie stays at Barca and rediscover his form of 2 years ago. right now, Deco seem to be issuing a 'come and get me' plea. Milan might take note
