Monaco vice-president, Vadim Vasilyev, has hit out at
suggestions that Radamel Falcao could leave the club for Real Madrid in
January, saying such a move would make “no sense”. In an interview with Madrid-based sports daily Marca, Vasilyev said
the principality club had no intention of allowing the Colombian to
leave just six months after signing him for a reported 60 million euros
($81.2m, £50.7m) from Atletico Madrid.
Vasilyev was speaking after Real Madrid president Florentino Perez
said on Spanish television in October that Falcao- currently Ligue 1′s
leading scorer with eight goals- “was keen to come to Madrid”. “Falcao signed a five-year contract and, if I have to say it a
hundred times I will, there is no clause allowing him to leave,” said
Vasilyev, who added that he felt it was “inappropriate” for a director
of another club to talk about a player who was under contract at Monaco. “We made a big effort to bring him here and it makes no sense for him
to leave in the winter, the summer or whenever,” he went on.
In an interview with Marca at the start of October, the 27-year-old
Falcao had ruled out leaving Monaco during the January transfer window.
