The Atletico Madrid striker has been in fearsome form this season, and it has not come as a surprise to the football world as he replicates his superb performances of three years back, week in week out.
The giants of English football, Chelsea and Manchester City, along with Spanish champions, Real Madrid, are red hot on Falcao’s trail and have tried their utmost to prize Atletico’s finest prospect away from them.
Falcao’s scintillating hat-trick for Atletico Madrid, in the European Super Cup final against Chelsea, immediately attracted a 48 million pound bid from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 owner Roman Abramovic.
Real Madrid and oil rich Manchester City also fielded in bids for the Colombian ace and it seems now that Manchester City have made a gallop to move ahead of their transfer rivals, in a move to lure Falcao to Etihad Stadium.
City were looking to be an unlikely destination for the Colombian in the summer transfer window, due to the presence of four world class strikers in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero.
It is believed that Manchester City have now made a case with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937, in the upcoming transfer window, which would allow them to accommodate the Atletico Madrid star
into their ranks.
The current English champions face stiff competition from Real Madrid and Chelsea in the race to sign the Colombian, but may suffer due to their expected failure in reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Due to the reports from the Daily Telegraph, the Atletico Madrid man demands a salary of 5 million pounds (after tax), while Atletico’s board would encourage a transfer fee in the region of 45 million Pounds.
As suggested by the recent reports, Manchester City may well have got a foothold in obtaining the signatures of the Colombian, but their failure to make it to the knock out round of the prestigious European competition may come down to haunt them, and dither
their chances in signing one of the most reputed and feared strikers of this generation.
