Real Madrid could bid for Falcao next year: Perez
16 Oct 2013 5:46 AM IST
Speaking on Spanish soccer chat show Punto Pelota on Monday night, Perez ruled out a bid for Falcao in the next transfer window in January but suggested Real could table one in the close season.
Falcao, 27, left Real’s city rivals Atletico to join Monaco at the end of last season for a fee media reported was around 60 million euros ($81.5 million).
‘He (Falcao) won’t come in January but in June, who knows?’ Perez said. ‘Nothing is impossible and there is a lot of time between now and then,’ the construction magnate added. ‘Falcao is a great player and I am aware that he wants to play for (Real) Madrid. I am aware of that, but it’s normal. They told me.’
One reason Real may be in the market for another striker is the patchy form of their French international Karim Benzema. ‘Karim is a great player and we get offers for him all the time, every summer. But it’s the authority of the coach to decide.
