Sevilla says Jose Antonio Reyes is returning to the Andalucian club from Spanish league rival Atletico Madrid.

Sevilla says that the former Arsenal midfielder agreed to a 3 1/2-year deal that runs through the 2014-15 season. The Spanish club did not disclose the price of the transfer, which was reported to be ?3.5 million ($4.5 million) plus bonuses.

Reyes, who left Sevilla in 2004 in a deal that cost Arsenal ?30 million ($39 million), has found playing time waning this season after having helped Atletico to Europa League and European Super Cup triumphs in 2010.

The 28-year-old Reyes, a former Spain international who played for Real Madrid and Benfica, made nine appearances for Atletico this season.
