The father of Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao won't shut the door on a return to River Plate.

On-loan from AS Monaco, Falcao won't be staying with Chelsea beyond the end of this season.

River have confirmed they made contact with Falcao in January and would be happy to welcome him back.

The player's father told Marca: "I do not confirm nor deny the rumours on River Plate.

"He has a great memory of what he has experienced with that club, though this does not necessarily mean he wants to go back."
