MONACO: Radamel Falcao was dropped at the last minute from Monaco’s matchday squad for yesterday’s Ligue 1 clash with Lille amid mounting speculation that the Colombian was on his way out of the principality club.
As the summer transfer session enters its final weekend, numerous reports have pegged Falcao as the superstar most likely on the move. However there has been no official confirmation that such teams as Real Madrid, Arsenal, Juventus or Liverpool have met Monaco’s demands.
Falcao started and scored the winning goal against Nantes last weekend and had been expected to start for Leonardo Jardim’s team at the Stade Louis II. He was named in the squad, but took no part in the warm-up and was not even included among the substitutes.
The striker has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid on a season-long loan, but they will have to move quickly with the transfer window closing on Monday.
