Radamel Falcao: Former Man Utd and Chelsea man plans Monaco return

Former Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao says he is looking forward to resuming training with Monaco.

But he only made 10 appearances for the Blues, scoring just one goal against Crystal Palace.

Would Radamel Falcao be a good signing for Middlesbrough?

Such positive feelings didn’t amount to much, though, with Diego Costa and Loic Remy ahead of the 30-year-old in the Chelsea pecking order.

“The striker is under contract with Monaco until 2018 but the French club could sanction another loan exit, although it appears at this stage as if he is set to return to the Stade Louis II this summer”.

The Premier League newcomers have offered Falcao a 12-month loan deal at the Riverside.

He is poised to return to parent club Monaco, but his nightmare in England has not put him off off the prospect of having a third crack at trying to prove himself in the Premier League. He earned £285,000-a-week at United and was paid £140,000-a-week at Chelsea.

Newly promoted back to the Premier League, Middlesbrough had been linked with a shock move for Falcao but the north of England looked to be the last thing on the player’s mind over the weekend.
