Radamel Falcao looking to stay with Porto despite interest from Chelsea – Report
Chelsea target http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276 has acknowledged that he is in the process of signing a new deal with Porto, which will increase his buyout clause.
While the former Millonarios man is on the verge of penning a new deal with the club, he has still not ruled out a move should a potential suitor agrees to trigger his release clause.
"We are negotiating my renewal with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186. I have a release clause which is accessible to some clubs in Europe, but in this case we are planning to increase it."
"I am in a good moment and at a very organised institution. This is a high-level team, with excellent players, and that has allowed me to take an important step," he was quoted as saying.
Falcao started his career with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841. After progressing through the ranks, the striker became a regular with Los Millonarios and his goalscoring feats saw him bag 49 goals in 109 appearances for the club.
After impressing with his mesmerizing displays, the Columbian International finally sealed a move to Europe with Porto in 2009. At Estadio do Dragao, Falcao showed his world-class attacking abilities and notched up a deadly partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436.
In his first season in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984, the Coffee Growers International found the back of the net an incredible 34 times before bettering the tally the next campaign with a jaw-dropping haul of 39 goals in 42 appearances for the Dragons.
However, his future with the Portuguese outfit has come under scrutiny in the last few weeks, as his mercurial goal poaching abilities have attracted attention from several top flight clubs. English Premier League club, Chelsea, are rumoured to be the side
most interested in securing his services, as their new manager, Andre Villas-Boas, was the last tactician at Porto.
The Blues have financial backing of Roman Abramovich and are known to have splashed the cash at the very hint of talent, so the €30 million price tag may just prove to be a mere formality for the London side. With the management at Stamford Bridge keen to
freshen up the squad and reduce the overall age, old timers like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicolas-Anelka-c27786 could well be on their way out of the helm.
The departure of the Ivorian and Frenchman could potentially free up space for Falcao and he could add a lot more options in the toothless Chelsea attack, which also boasts the misfiring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707.
Although 25-year-old recently admitted his dream of playing in the English Premier League, especially with the prospect of being reunited with his mentor, it looks like he has pledged his immediate future to the Portistas.
