Atletico Madrid star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, continues to flirt with clubs and with the January transfer window approaching fast, his final destination still looks uncertain.
Atletico Madrid has kept on with its trend of producing world class strikers to this day. Known for their bargain signings, Atletico has been home to a number of world class strikers over the past few years.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero, who is one of the most feared
strikers in today’s game, made a name for himself in Europe through his heroics at Atletico.
Radamel Falcao, whose striking services were acquired by Atletico Madrid from Portuguese outfit F.C Porto in August 2011, has picked it from where he had left it, at the Portuguese giants.
Falcao amassed an incredible 72 goals in his two seasons at F.C Porto, and has continued to score at this phenomenal rate for the capital side, since arriving.
Falcao has scored 49 goals in 60 appearances for his current employers and is on a hot streak this season as well, already scoring 10 goals in La Liga and a famous hat-trick against European champions Chelsea, in the European Super Cup Final.
The Colombian international has also helped Atletico achieve Continental glory not once, but twice, by leading them to the Europa League and European Super Cup titles in the previous season.
Falcao’s mouth watering stats are intimation for most of the top European clubs, and it has come as no surprise, that Chelsea, Manchester City, and Atletico’s cross city rivals, Real Madrid, are ready to pounce on the Colombian sensation.
Atletico president Enrique Cerezo believes Falcao to be the best striker in the world, and has stated that he would not even swap him for either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, if the option be made.
"Many teams would want him but he plays for Atletico and we are delighted about that.”
When the clubs of such high stature come out calling for a player, mostly a sensation ends up with the pursuers, and the money, with the parent club.
Falcao’s case looks no different, as his agent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, and Real Madrid on several different occasions.
The question that strikes the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bare-c7300 mind is “Which team needs the Colombian’s services the most?”
Starting from Atletico’s cross town rivals, Real Madrid, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 and Gonzalo Higuain are both currently sidelined due to injuries and with a fresh blow to Cristiano Ronaldo in the last La Liga encounter, Jose Mourinho will definitely urge the Real
Madrid board to lure Falcao to the Bernabeu, in case he is made available in the January transfer window.
Mourinho will also like to make his case strong with the fact that, Real find themselves 8 points behind table toppers http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, and a further slip in the league may prove to be detrimental to their La Liga title hopes.
Current day Manchester City squad boasts four of the most feared strikers of the planet. However, reports suggest that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937, in the upcoming transfer window.
If the reports turn out to be true, Manchester City will be trying their utmost to acquire the Colombian’s services, in order to defend their first title in 44 years. Having being beaten by local neighbours Manchester United for the signatures of Robin Van
Persie in the summer transfer window, Roberto Mancini may make Falcao his primary transfer target.
Chelsea have had some problems of their own since the signing of Fernando Torres from Liverpool. With the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Florent-Malouda-c13838, there is no one to challenge Fernando Torres for his assured starting spot in the striker’s
department. To be honest, Torres has not lived up to the expectations this season and a striker of Falcao’s ability is bound to make more use from the majestic midfield services provided by Juan Mata, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863.
If need be weighed, Chelsea looks like the most appropriate destination for the Atletico Madrid man. But as it turns out to be the case in most transfer battles around a top player, all the three European power houses will be doing their most to check Atletico’s
resolve over Falcao, and will be battling neck to neck, to print Falcao’s name to their club’s honoured jerseys.
