Ex-Chelsea Striker Shuts Down Monaco Exit Rumours

AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has dismissed transfer reports linking him with a move away from the French Ligue 1 club when the transfer window reopens this summer.

While fielding questions from reporters, the Colombian international star said that his immediate future is at the Principality club despite the intense transfer reports of a transfer out of Monaco.

The former Chelsea striker has been linked with a return to former club Atletico Madrid but it looks like he might stay in France.

Falcao has maintained a good form for Monaco in what has been a disappointing campaign for the French Ligue 1 giants.

He has scored 12 league goals this term and his output has been very important for a Monaco side currently flirting with the relegation zone.

AS Monaco are just four points above the relegation zone at the moment.

They have had to make two managerial changes since the start of the season.

Portuguese tactician Leonardo Jardim won the league title for Monaco during the 2016/17 campaign but he was initially dismissed at the start of this season after a poor start to the season.

He was replaced by club legend Thierry Henry who was in charge for just three months before the aforementioned Jardim was reappointed.
