Video Safari

Real Madrid will try again for Arsenal striker Jose Antonio Reyes in the next 24 hours.

While their focus has been centred on Lyon midfielder Mahamadou Diarra, Real will return to the negotiating table for Reyes with a £10 million cash offer. Previous bids had been valued at £10 million, but included a selection of fringe players.
Real are also discussing the possibility of selling Julio Baptista to raise additional funds.
Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein refuses to do
business over Reyes for less than £15 million.
