MONACO MAKE HEADLINES
French club Monaco have been making headlines in the transfer world in the last few months. They have spent close to £ 100 million by bringing in three players in the last few months. The standout player amongst the trio is the Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, who is believed to have cost the club £ 50 million. The 27-year-old has been one of the most wanted strikers over the last few years. Clubs like Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United were after his signature, but he chose to go down a different route by signing for Monaco.
The French club bankrolled by a Russian billionaire and they are already showing a lot of intention to become one of the best clubs in the world. Aside from Falcao, they have also brought in James Rodriguez and Joao Moutinho. Ricardo Carvalho, Eric Abidal, and Jeremy Toulalan are some of the other star names who have been brought to the club during this period. Falcao has said that Monaco may not have achieved much in terms of the European competitions in recent years, but he is confident that they will be a force to reckon with in the next few years.
The club are not expected to stop with their spending at this point, as they are still linked with several big names.
“I understand that this could have come as a surprise. It’s a pity there’s no European Cup, but that’s how it is. But the aim is to win the title so that we can play in the Champions League next year. We have other motivations than Europe this season, we want to win all the competitions we’re in and that’s already enough. Many people may believe that this is a mistake, but I’m sure they will change their opinion once we have won titles,” said Falcao.
