Reyes claimed "I am definitely going to be in Madrid next season, but playing for whom is yet to be seen"
The 23 year old Spanish striker spent an unhappy time in England with Arsenal and was loaned out to Real Madrid in an exchange loan deal with Julio Baptista. When Baptista struggled at Arsenal and returned to Madrid after his loan, Reyes had a decent run with the Spanish Champions. He will be remembered for his cameo substitute appearance in the final league game and scoring two goals to win Madrid the 30th league title.
With Saviola signed and Baptista joining back and Real recalling Spanish striker Soldado from loan, they wanted Arsenal to sell Reyes for cheap.
There was a brief interest from Lyon but Reyes had made up his mind in staying in Spain. He was for the taking of the highest bidder in the Spanish Primera. In comes Athletico Madrid, who had their icon Fernando Torres leaving to Liverpool. Atletico is claimed to have done a deal of 12M Euros with Arsenal for Reyes who signed a 4 year deal and he will be partnering with another new striker Diego Forlan.
