Radamel Falcao has surprised fans by revealing that he could have signed for Real Madrid during his time at Monaco. In a recent interview, the Colombian forward explained that the white club made a formal offer for him, but his move to Santiago Bernabéu ultimately didn't materialize. The Colombian forward ultimately didn't join the Chamartín team despite much talk about it.
The former Atlético de Madrid player confessed that he never had in mind to wear the merengue jersey, which would have been a controversial move due to his rojiblanco past. Additionally, Falcao mentioned that there was a pact between clubs not to sign players from each other, which made any possible transfer even more difficult.
Despite Real Madrid's interest, the Colombian forward decided to stay at AS Monaco, where he continued his career before trying his luck with other European teams. This revelation has sparked a great debate among fans, who wonder what would have happened if Falcao had accepted the Madrid proposal.
The Curious "Hala Madrid" Tweet That Ignited Rumors
One of the most remembered episodes surrounding Falcao and Real Madrid was a mysterious tweet posted on his official account in 2014. The message clearly read "Hala Madrid," which unleashed a wave of speculation about his imminent signing with the white club. The player from Santa Marta was always linked with the merengue team, and that season he was quite close according to reports.
However, Falcao himself has recently clarified that he wasn't the one who posted that message, but rather a community manager at his service. According to the forward, it was a mistake that caused a lot of confusion at the time, although the transfer was never close to being finalized.
This episode adds to the long list of rumors that have surrounded the Colombian's career, who has been linked with major European teams on several occasions.
