What is Falcao playing at? The Colombian striker has been injured for almost three weeks, but other than the injury it is the lack of information about it that raises suspicion. Rumors of a transfer in January are already growing...
The 27 year-old player has not been on the field since Monaco manager Claudio Ranieri pulled it out of the Nantes-Monaco game at the 63rd minute. A substitution for no apparent reason as Falcao did not seem to be injured and was even surprised--not to say astonished--to have to leave the field.
After the game, Ranieri told journalists that Falcao was suffering from a little injury and he did not want to take a risk and aggravate the injury. Well, it apparently did not work! How can a supposedly minor injury turned out to keep Falcao away from the field for four weeks? Especially when there has not been any official injury report from the club itself. Nobody knows what kind of injury Falcao suffers from, assuming he has one.
Could it be that Falcao is simply showing his displeasure toward his coach? Does he not want to play and is planing a move away from Monaco in January? A transfer that would cost over 60 million Euros for any interested clubs as Monaco fixed the asking price. Falcao's contract expires in 2018 and he joined Monaco for 60 million Euros this summer.
As the transfer rumor rises, Falcao told the press that he was happy at Monaco.
"I am very happy here at Monaco. I don't have a problem with the coach but with my thigh. I feel better and I will play soon."
Chelsea are interested in signing the Colombian in January, but the main club remains Real Madrid with a real conspiracy behind the transfer. Indeed, when Falcao played at Athletico Madrid, he was forbidden to sign for Real Madrid in his contract, forcing him to leave for another club. Many observers believe that he simply signed for Monaco to be able to go back to Madrid as soon as possible, this time wearing a Real madrid jersey!
Could this be? Could Falcao had used Monaco as a way out to open a window to Real madrid? Falcao's teammate at Monaco, Eric Abidal, ensures that the striker is injured and has the desire to remain at the French club.
"He told me personally that he wanted to stay here. I can assure you that he is injured and he is taking care of it."
Everything seems fishy around the injury. An injury that, according to Falcao, appeared during a game with his country. However, the Colombian medical staff never heard of it, according to Colombia manager Mauricio Correa. After that, Falcao said that it was reminiscence of an old injury from his time at Madrid...A little bit confused and overwhelmed, Falcao? Maybe...
I believe that Falcao simply misses the Champions League and top level football it can offer. As Monaco should qualify for next year's edition, Radamel Falcao's thirst of excitement should be fulfilled...As long as he is patient enough to wait at Monaco. The striker played 14 games in Ligue 1, scoring nine goals.
