Former Arsenal and Real Madrid forward Jose Antonio Reyes has left Sevilla.
The club revealed the news on Twitter, saying: “Champion, Captain and symbol... leaves”.
Reyes was part of Spain’s 2006 World Cup squad and had a brief spell at Arsenal after becoming their most expensive player ever in January 2004 when he signed for £15million. He failed to settle in London and moved onto Real Madrid in July 2006.
The 32-year-old Reyes spent seven seasons during two spells at the southern Spanish club playing 253 times for them and winning the last three Europa League titles with them, a title he also won twice at Atletico Madrid.
“José Antonio Reyes is leaving Seville, putting an end to his second spell here, the most collectively successful one,” a club statement said.
Reyes was a fans’ favourite who professed his love for his hometown and cried publicly after news of his transfer to Arsenal
