Reyes future hinges on Zagreb tie

Reyes signed a new Arsenal contract last season

Jose Antonio Reyes' future at Arsenal depends on whether he is named in the side to face Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday, according to the winger's agent. If Reyes, 22, plays in the Champions League qualifier, he will be cup-tied for the rest of the competition.
"If he plays it will complicate the move," agent Rodriguez de Moya told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope.
"Real Madrid do not want to invest a large sum in a player who cannot play in the Champions League."
Reports in Spain suggest there was contact between Real Madrid and Arsenal about the player on Monday.
