Reyes still hopeful of Madrid move

Jose Antonio Reyes is hopeful Real Madrid will soon reach an agreement with Arsenal for his permanent transfer to the Bernabeu.

Having spent last season on loan with the Spanish champions, the Arsenal forward is keen to remain in Madrid.

Reyes travelled to London last week in the hope of negotiating his permanent move to Madrid, but he remains an Arsenal player.

"No agreement has been reached so far," admitted Reyes. "But I hope the situation will be resolved as soon as possible for my benefit.

"Next season I hope to win everything - and if it's with Real Madrid even better."

The 23-year-old moved to Arsenal from Sevilla in January 2004, but struggled to adapt to English life.

"The rain was one of the main reasons why I didn't adapt well to that country," said the Seville-born player.

Madrid begin their pre-season training on July 21.
