Chelsea Transfers: 5 Shock Moves Benitez Could Make Before Window Shuts

2. Radamel Falcao

Radamel Falcao is one of the hottest properties in European football at present and has scored 22 goals in 21 appearances already this season. If it weren€™t for the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo hogging all the limelight in La Liga, the Atletico Madrid sensation would be a lot more admired by now. He has already caught the attention of Chelsea, though, who are reportedly prepared to meet his £40 million buy-out clause and offer him £150,000-a-week in wages. However, both Falcao and Atletico have previously stated there is likely to be no movement this month, which would make his capture on Thursday€™s deadline day all the more sensational. The prospect of partnering him up front with either Demba Ba or Fernando Torres must be a tempting one for Benitez, however. Source(s): International Business Times
