3. Radamel Falcao Move Still On After Real Madrid Reports?
The Colombian marksman is one of the most prolific strikers in the world with his 22 goals in 21 appearances this season, and as such is constantly linked with a move away from the Vicente Calderon. Chelsea are believed to be interested but Real Madrid apparently stole a march over them when reports surfaced this week* that the player and his agent had dinner with Madrid club president Florentino Pérez and discussed his future. However, Falcao has angrily denied these rumours. He rapped:
"Everything is a lie. "Lately there has been all kinds of reports about me. "All those that say I ate with Florentino are false. Neither is it true that I travelled with Cristiano Ronaldo to the Ballon d'Or gala."
Likelihood? The likelihood of Falcao joining Chelsea has been given an added boost by the player's denial of Real Madrid's approach, but he has said recently that he is happy to stay at Atletico Madrid.** Source(s): * TeamTalk, ** Guardian
