Falcao to City for 50 million?

The biggest transfer wrangle of the summer looks set to gather pace in the next few weeks – and the Sunday People believe City will be heavily involved.

Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao has become Europe’s hottest property with the Colombian striker seemingly having his pick of some of the biggest clubs in the world.

Dave Kidd of the People suggests the Blues are stealing a march on their rivals by agreeing a deal for the player it seems everyone wants. He writes: “City have met the £54million buy-out clause in the Colombian’s Atletico contract – to snatch him away from incoming Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

“Falcao, has long been one of hottest properties in world football and his signing by City will be a boost for the profile of the Premier League.

The player is said to prefer City rather than go head-to-head with Fernando Torres, the favourite of owner Roman Abramovich, at Stamford Bridge

"His fee will surpass the £50m Chelsea paid Liverpool for Torres in 2011.”

That’s the major transfer rumour of the day, but on the final day of the campaign, there is still time to focus on the game against Norwich at the Etihad with former defender Javier Garrido widely quoted.

The Spaniard with a penchant for stunning free-kicks says he is looking forward to returning to a club he only has fond memories of.
