Valencia keen on Falcao loan move

According to the International Business Times, Spanish club Valencia are considering making a move for Radamel Falcao.

Valencia manager Nuno wants to sign a striker during the January transfer window to replace former Manchester City striker, Alvaro Negredo, who has struggled in Spain. He has asked club owner Peter Lim to work with  Jorge Mendes and make a loan move for the Colombian international striker possible.

Falcao completed a loan move to Stamford Bridge this summer, considered to be a capable replacement for the departing Didier Drogba. However, the Colombian has failed to live up to his billing so far. “El Tigre” has continued to be a shadow of his former self.

Both clubs would benefit from this move. Chelsea would rid themselves of his wages, opening up a chance for them to move for a better-suited option. Valencia have a chance to sign a striker for a small price, gambling that he will find his form in La Liga. The league was formerly the 29-year-old’s hunting ground, and a return may allow him to rediscover old tricks.

It’s interesting to point out that Valencia’s manager Nuno would like to first part company with former Manchester City striker, Alvaro Negredo.

Overall, it seems as though a Stamford Bridge exit for the Colombian has become inevitable, even as early as January. This would be in Chelsea’s best interest if they are to bring in reinforcements during the same transfer window.
