mizer Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Radamel Falcao is set to have a medical with Monaco on Monday before moving to the Ligue 1 club for €60m (£51m), according to reports in Spain. The Colombia striker has long been linked with a move away from Atlético Madrid, with Manchester United and Chelsea mooted as possible destinations. However, it appears that Monaco have jumped to the head of the queue, with the newly promoted team having already recruited the highly-rated Porto pair Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez for a combined fee of around £60m. Monaco's president, Dmitry Rybolovlev, is highly ambitious, evidenced by his capture of the Porto pair, who are former team-mates of Falcao who has scored 32 goals in 36 appearances this season.

maverick sheep Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 falcao's near enough the best striker in the world so other that the money in football generally being disgusting it's not ridiculous money compared with other transfers. plus monaco have a lot of pride to restore, and need a guy like falcao if they're going to compete with psg.

Jute Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Would not have thought signings by Monaco will mean they meet the UEFA financial fair play rule any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
