If reports are to be believed, the Madrid club are ready to make the Colombian the highest paid player in the club’s history.
Recent speculation has continuously linked Atletico Madrid forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
If reports be believed, all the three clubs linked with a move for the Colombian have made up plots to land the goal-machine.
Falcao has had a more than impressive season and his stats of 16 La Liga goals in just 14 outings have further intensified his pursuit by other clubs.
The former Porto man has been flirty when asked about his intentions of near future.
He has sometimes gone on to state that he is happy at his current club, whereas he has also indicated that he will love to take up a new challenge.
The striker still has 3 years remaining according to his current deal at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon but due to the intensity of interest in the striker, the Atletico board are looking to offer a contract extension to their prized asset.
The worth of the deal is estimated to be around the massive figure of 15 million Euros an year. The suggested sum has been reported to be even greater than what former star players http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero earned at the club.
Atletico’s title credentials also have a great say on whether they can afford to keep hold of their man, as they will only be able to manage the finances required, if they qualify for the UEFA Champions League in the coming season.
Atletico are currently 2nd in the La Liga standings and trail table-toppers http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 by 6 points. Los Rojiblancos also surprisingly find themselves placed above arch cross-town rivals Real Madrid and hold a 5 point advantage over them.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simeone’s decent season will have a great say on their aspirations of keeping Falcao, and the striker himself is tipped to be the man who can take Los Rojiblancos to new levels.
Atletico have also qualified for the knock out stages of the UEFA Europa League, and will be looking to keep the crown that they have won twice in the last three attempts.
