Chelsea could buy Falcao for £38m

Chelsea have the option to buy Radamel Falcao for £38m, according to the Mail Online.

The Colombia international moved to Stamford Bridge on a season-long loan in the summer, and it has been revealed that the details of that deal includes the chance to secure his services on a permanent basis.

Falcao, who spent last season on loan at Manchester United, has failed to reproduce his best form since moving to England.

In twenty-nine appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils he scored just four goals while he has netted just once in eleven outings for the Blues this season and hasn’t played in almost three months.

Prior to his move to the Premier League, the twenty-nine year old had successful spells in Argentina, Portugal and Spain with River Plate, Porto and Atletico Madrid while he bagged thirteen goals in twenty-two games for parent club Monaco before being allowed to leave on loan.
