he certainly can't since he's moving to Chelsea in January transfer window. the question is if $45 million can help Atletico stay in the top 5. given Spain's economy is in dust, and other clubs have no money to compete, they'll probably survive.

Good article, which is giving Atletico Madrid the recognition they deserve for their great start this season.

I hope it continues, as it would be great if a team could break up the Barcelona and Real Madrid monopoly for a change.

Super striker. Watched him against chelsea and he was unplayable on the night. football needs more players of his caliber in low profile teams like athletico.

Alex, why would Atletico sell Falcao to Chelsea with 45 million dollars when his buy-out clause is 60 million euros?

bloody good article.....he,s a good one......that Europa league final performance was smooth and polished.....just like your reporting.....a pay rise is on the way for sure.....plus a case of sagres

As a colombian I'm so proud of Falcao ! he's doing his job perfectly in Atletico, But we can not forget his goals with his National Team. Colombia led by Falcao is doing great in the eliminatories for Brazil !

You are right, it is just a matter of time. Falcao is going to be the best soccer player. He has the ability to hit gols in many ways. He has won 2 consecutive Europe leagues, the best striker of europe league of all the times, Falcao broke the record established by Klinsmann. The facts and his numbers are amazing. Go TIGRE !!!

A mi no me parece¡¡¡¡ El es un mal jugador que solo ha tenido suerte de enconttrar la pelota.

I believe this Colombian Radamel Falcao is an extra- ordinary super- magic striker I have ever heard of in recent time. He is a one -man squad that any club can rely on it times difficulty. If care is not taken Atletico Madrid judging by the rate they are moving will end up lifting the trophy this season.

Hopefully he (Falcao) will recognize that he is doing something special alongside his Atletico teammates and will stay until the summer!

Than again for 60 million euro's a lot can be done! So if he moves I think Atletico can move forward and buy a bunch of young talented players

very nice article to read. Ath Madrid deserved to be where they are now. I watched their few matches and I found them very entertaining. Falcao is surely the third best player at the moment and to be not disrespectful to Ath Mardrid I would say he could Join bigger clubs.
I think Chelsea may sign him soon.

Falcao is second in the world and only after Messi. HE is far better than C. Ronaldo. For sure he will be world best soon. Nicely written Article indeed.

Kaminero, Falcaos buy-out close with Porto was €45 mln when he extended contract in Jul. 2011. Month later Atletico paid €40 mln for him.

as a Colombian im very proud to say Falcao is a amazing player, and has lots to prove. on the other hand i would say he is by far the best player in the world. the reason being why i think he is the best player in the world is because simply Leo Messi and C. Ronaldo are from another planet and can not be compared as they are the best of the best. now with that said Colombia has lots of up coming talent that the world is yet to see. im sure all of you have heard of our young midfielder James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez in FC Porto, or Dorlan Pabon for the italian side Parma, Freddy Guarin in Inter Milan he had 1 goal and 2 assit in the 3-1 Victory.

The best center forward at this moment in the world, not the best player in the world but the best area man at this moment.

sin duda alguna falcao el mejor, pero en colombia después de él tenemos buenos jugadores que darán de que hablar de nuestro país.para que vean que colombia no es solamente droga y violencia sino cultura y deporte y con gente sencilla y buena y de poca arrogancia.

A goal scoring Radamel Falcao will go very far. Wishing the Colombian further success for club and country. Fine article by Senhor Pinto.

he's the best for now and he will shine anywhere i believe; being young highly energetic and powerful. atletico madrid can soar higher at this level if he leave for chelsea being that hes taken them thus far..i believe the coach can fix it

Falcao is a super striker.He have great accuracy to score goals.He have great head work and brilliant fro making position.If Ronaldo and Messi are Not in La Liga obviously Falcao will take the top rank as best player in La Liga.He is a good one.Recently he has created a record of scoring more goals in one matches.He scored 5 goals in one matches.That is excellent performance from him.He is the second in the soccer world just after Great Messi.
