Chelsea look set to win the race to sign Atletico Madrid striker Rademel Falcao after rivals Manchester City turned down the chance to bid for the Colombian hitman.
Cash-strapped Atletico were hoping that a bidding war between City and Chelsea would force up the price of a player who has a £28million release clause in his contract.
Atletico Madrid General Manager Migel Angel Gil Marin and Falcao’s agent Jorge Mendes met with City’s new sporting director Txiki Begiristan after the Premier League champions’ 2-1 win over Spurs last Sunday.
Heading to the Bridge: Radamel Falcao is wanted by Chelsea
But according to The Sunday Mirror, both men arrived at the Etihad without receiving an invitation from City and were told that Roberto Mancini’s interest in Falcao would not be firmed up with an offer.
City’s stance may change if they can offload Mario Balotelli in the upcoming transfer window, with PSG and both Milan clubs understood to be keen on the Italian international.
Falcao, 26, scored 36 goals last season after being recruited to replace Sergio Aguero in a £35m deal.
Looking to strengthen: Roberto Di Matteo could turn to Falcao as Fernando Torres continues to struggle
Mancini feels his team lacks firepower despite the presence of Aguero, Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko in his squad.
But Chelsea have an even greater need for a striker, with Fernando Torres still struggling.
Usual Daily Fail crap - we hold talks with Athletico to say we are not interested!!!! Why bother?

I'm sure CFC will be looking at Falcao, but I doubt they'll make an official bid as Falcao will probably stay at A. M until the end of the season at least. Buy-out clause is irrelevant while the player is happy, and you'd think he would be at the moment
Utd extracted RVP from Arsenal because the player indicated to all his time was up. Falcao has time and he's already at a top club who are competing at the highest level and winning trophies.
No chance City will bid for him when we have 4 strikers plus JG and we have the FFPR to think about.

would be surprised if he came to us as Chelsea have a much bigger need for him and can guarantee game time. Don't kid urself to whoever said he won't succeed here... his skill set translates to any style of play especially with the service he'll get from Mata Oscar and hazard

They brought him with the Aguero cashEdwaardz said:God knows where they got that £28m figure from. It's probably the amount Atletico still owe Porto.
