City to rival Madrid for Falcao?

It is reported that Manchester City are considering rivalling Real Madrid for the signing of Radamel Falcao.

The Monaco forward, who missed this summer’s World Cup with knee ligament damange, has been linked with a move to Los Blancos throughout the summer.

However, reports in the Italian Press claim that the Premier League outfit have now joined the race for the Colombian and may even look to take him on loan in order to comply with UEFA Financial Fair Play rules.

Should City beat the European champions to Falcao, it is likely they would allow Stevan Jovetic to join Juventus.
