Porto star Radamel Falcao has reiterated his wish to play for Porto next season despite reports linking him with a move away from the club.
The Columbian International’s future has come under intense speculation during the summer transfer window and he was widely tipped to be leaving the Portistas in spite of signing a new deal recently. As per his new contract, his buyout clause has been increased
to €45 million.
Although his price-tag has been raised, it has still not quashed rumours of transfer to the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Falcao has now come out and said that he would like to be at Estadio da Dragao next season and play alongside his teammates.
"I hope to be soon in the Port to start the season with my teammates,” he said.
The 25-year-old is currently on International duty with Columbia at the prestigious Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 but spoke highly of the stint so far in Portugal and was keen to thank the fans for their support.
"More than two seasons with the team that I opened in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 and I received the best possible way. The townspeople, everyone, there are no words to thank you so much affection I have received since my arrival at the club. Thank you all for your support,"
said Falcao.
The Coffee Growers International’s services have become a coveted commodity in Europe following a stellar season, where he bagged a whopping 39 goals in only 42 appearances. His goalscoring feats have been recognized as the perfect answer to the woes of
Atletico Madrid, who are in a mess of their own following http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero’s desire to move to another club.
Their fierce rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 as the other option, Coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly lining up
a bid to lure Falcao to the Bernabeu.
However, the most interest stemmed from the Chelsea camps, who are willing to splash the cash in order to land their man, according to reports. However, the transfer has hit a huge stumbling block following Falcao’s comments and now he is likely to remain
in the Portuguese Primeira Liga for at least another season.
