9. Radamel Falcao (Signed For AS Monaco)
Chelsea had been
linked to the Atlético Madrid striker for some time but the Uruguayan opted for a move to AS Monaco who have recently been promoted to the French Ligue 1. Of course, Monaco are now owned by a billionaire, is a top tourist destination and is a tax-free city. Can you blame Falcao moving their for non-footballing reasons? Either way, Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monacos wealth is certainly having an impact across Europe, with Falcao for example moving from the league top in the UEFA coefficient to the league ranking fifth, avoiding the Premier League which ranks second!
