Arsenal will not keep on-loan striker Julio Baptista, according to reports in Spain.
The Brazilian, who is on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, has taken time to adapt to life in England, but has found some consistency of late.
However, it appears Baptista's form has come too late for Arsene Wenger, who has according to 'Marca' rejected the chance to keep his services at the Emirates permanently.
Baptista, who is due to land a Spanish passport this month, is believed to have asked his agent to review his options, with offers from Germany and Turkey reportedly on the table.
Meanwhile, Jose Antonio Reyes, who has spent this season on loan with Real, is unsure of his future as the Liga giants do not want to push through a deal.
Atletico Madrid are keen on the former Sevilla man and are keen to hold a meeting with Arsenal to discuss securing his services from The Gunners.

we've seen him.. he's not really good enough to be an Arsenal focus point of attack... even he said it himself when he said that English football is too fast for him and he doesn't have "time to think"
maybe it's for the better...
i, for one, wish him luck elsewhere

i thought he was known as "the beast"? actually arsenal would want to keep reyes but problem is, reyes wants out.
its now a limbo, but sicne batispta has now got EU passport, he is free to play anywhere in europe. I am sure he has no problems finding a club - perhaps one of those mid-stream clubs or newly promoted clubs. bolton is known for bringing the best out of players....
