Arsenal want Robinho in Reyes deal
|
Arsenal want Real Madrid to include Brazilian sensation Robinho in their bid for Jose Reyes.
The People says sources close to Real president Ramon Calderon claim when Real asked about Cesc Fabregas last week Gunners chiefs said they had no chance of snatching Fabregas but Reyes would be available if the deal was right.
A cash-plus-player deal would suit Arsenal, especially if the player was the Brazilian Julio Baptista, who scored 50 goals in two seasons at former club Seville, or Robinho.
Baptista was on the Arsenal manager's wanted list last summer but the player chose Real Madrid instead.
Despite a strong second half of the season, Baptista - who can play as a striker or in midfield - now looks like being frozen out by new boss Fabio Capello.
Real would be more reluctant to let Robinho go, but Arsenal may prefer a player who can step straight into Reyes' position.
