obviously spurs pulled out of the deal to sign him when the fantastic clint dempsey became available and left it too late for clubs to come in for him.....so they have to sell him in january instead

Atletico quell Falcao talk
Last Updated: Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:44

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has played down suggestions that Radamel Falcao could leave for the likes of Manchester City.

The Colombian international was linked with a possible move away from the Europa League winners this past summer as City and Chelsea were just two sides thought to be pondering a move.

However, Falcao stayed put and went on to score a superb hat-trick as Atletico beat Chelsea 4-1 to claim the Super Cup last Friday night.

Since then Falcao's uncle Alex Garcia has spoken out to claim he would be leaving in the next transfer window in January which prompted the player to immediately deny that on Twitter.

Atletico chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin has also hinted that Falcao, who cost 40 million euros from FC Porto in summer 2011, might be offloaded to ease the club's financial problems. But Cerezo is confident that the player will stay put with them for the foreseeable future.

He told Spanish radio show El Larguero: "I do not give him (Garcia) any importance.

"The player himself is not saying it, so there is nothing wrong. A father can say whatever he wishes about his sons, but Falcao has clearly explained that he is happy and content at Atletico and will be here for four years."

Cerezo added: "We are in a fantastic moment, a happy moment. We have a fantastic team and coach and I do not see Falcao's father's statements as destabilising. Everything is very calm. Falcao is not leaving."

Atletico owe a massive amount to the taxman and Falcos value will never be higher than it is now. Would make sense to sell in January when clubs are desperate for players to fire them to glory, than wait till the summer.

The future of Radamel Falcao remains in doubt at Atletico Madrid.

Falcao's father has revealed the interest of Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid in recent days and it's been revealed Atletico were serious about selling him last month.

El Confidencial says Atletico chiefs made the Colombian available for €33 million with a black hole remaining in their financial reports. But no interested club was willing to meet the asking price.

A sale in January cannot be ruled out, with Atletico still needing to find money to balance the books.

€33million? That works out as £26.3million.

If we find a buyer for Edin willing to pay his actual value rather that trying to bum us, then i guess if reinvesting that cash plus 10 or 15 million would get us Falcao, i'd probably go for it.

But i wouldn't want us to sell Dzeko for 20 million and buy Falcao for 60 million euros.
