Radamel Falcao Expected to Quit Amid Barcelona Rumours — Chelsea Transfer News

Chelsea, Monaco and Falcao would all have to agree to cancel the player’s loan deal for him to be able to move elsewhere in January, and Mourinho would want to be sure of signing a replacement before letting him go.

The Colombian’s return of one goal in 326 minutes of play for the Blues is hardly an inspiring figure, though, admittedly, the entire team has struggled for much of that time, not just Falcao.

The former Colombia captain, who has lost the armband to Inter midfielder Fredy Guarin, has seen his playing time limited on the worldwide stage, with Carlos Bacca and Teofilo Gutierrez preferred to him in the recent World Cup qualifiers.

When asked if she could explain Falcao’s inability to replicate the performances he showed before his cruciate ligament injury in January 2014, Dona Denis King Garcia told El Universal: “I do not understand what happened. You have to give him more time to do what he does best”.

It’s hard to imagine any team willing to gamble big money on him if his stay at Chelsea is cut short, though, and it’s incredibly unlikely Barcelona of all teams would be the club to do so. “You have to show confidence in him because that is the only way he can return like before”.

The 29-year-old has managed one Premier League goal as the third-choice striker finds himself behind Diego Costa and Loic Remy in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
