Chelsea are ready to pass on Radamel Falcao's permanent signing.
The Sunday Mirror says Falcao's nightmare Premier League career is as good as over with Chelsea looking set to reject the chance to sign him on a permanent basis.
The Colombia international joined on loan from Monaco after flopping at Manchester United, who'd also borrowed him from the French side for last season.
The champions agreed to take Falcao in a season-long agreement with the option to sign him full-time next June.
It is unclear whether Falcao will return to Monaco at the end of the season or will look for another move away.
