Radamel Falcao has spoken out about his Chelsea future.
Falcao’s time in London is coming to an end after an uninspiring and ultimately fruitless loan spell from Monaco.
The Colombian forward has insisted he still wants to increase his profile within Europe again whilst also refusing to rule out a move to America and the bright lights of the MLS.
Speaking to NBC’s ProSoccerTalk, Falcao said:
We have four more games left. I would like to play more minutes. The experience [in England] has been a little bit tough. I will still fight for an opportunity to play and I am waiting for that. These last couple of years have allowed me to be better in other ways. I am happy for that.
On a potential move to Major League Soccer and his thoughts on the league, the 30-year-old said:
I follow it. In England they are showing the games and I have some friends who play in it who I played with in River Plate or Porto like [Federico] Higuain or [Diego] Valeri.
Some other Colombian players are playing in Major League Soccer and obviously the big stars like Andrea Pirlo, Kaka and Giovani dos Santos. I think MLS could be bigger than now because they have everything they need to become an even stronger league and become even more competitive.
I never say no but in this moment I am thinking about Europe and my performances here. I think I have more years to fight in these leagues.
The former Manchester United striker also made it clear he wants to help Colombia in the Copa America and Olympics this summer, where possible, keen to make up for time on the pitch he’s lost during his time in the UK.
For the meantime, however, Falcao is hopeful of still achieving some game time with Chelsea before his Stamford Bridge deal comes to a close.
