Rumours: Falcao surrounded by re-transfer and fake age rumours

Radamel Falcao

Newly-minted Monaco striker has denied reports of his re-transfer this summer. Falcao, one of the most expensive signings of summer, has claimed these reports to be false.

It was reported that AS Monaco could have been forced to sell £51m striker Radamel Falcao weeks after signing the Colombian due to financial constraints being forced on the Principality club but these claims are mere rumours according to the club representatives and the player.

The Colombian was also surrounded by age-related issues, according to the Daily Mail. His documents, purporting to be from his school days, had come to light showing his date of birth as February 10, 1984 but his registered year with FIFA is considered to be 1986.

Falcao himself and his representatives have completely denied the reports. He told TEAMtalk: “I have been surprised with stories in the media about my age. They are totally ridiculous. I want to deny this and end this issue once and for all.”
