Chelsea Transfer News: Radamel Falcao To Snub Blues For PSG?

Radamel Falcao to snub Chelsea for PSG?

the Sun. The Colombian has been in unstoppable form over the last two seasons for Atletico Madrid after his switch from Porto, scoring 36 times in 50 appearances in his first season and managing 21 strikes in 19 appearances during the current La Liga campaign. Just last month the European Champions were thought to be close on signing the hitman in a £50 million deal as a strike partner for Fernando Torres, though they have since signed Demba Ba since then. And if they were hoping to make a move for him in the summer, owner Roman Abramovic, who has spent close to £1 billion funding the club since he bought it for £59m nine years ago, may have to think again. The highly rated striker spoke of his admiration for equally-as-rich Qatar owned Paris Saint-Germain by stating:

€œFrance is a really fantastic country €” and PSG have an ambitious sporting project in place.€
It would be a huge coup for the ambitious French outfit to sign Falcao ahead of Chelsea, and PSG have been slowly building a team of global stars to rival any other in Europe by adding the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovi‡ and one-time Manchester United target Lucas Moura to their ever growing squad of stars. It would also be a measure of revenge for current manager Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked by the Blues in 2011.
