Departing Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao is willing to stay with AS Monaco next season.

Falcao is currently licking his wounds after a difficult year on-loan with Chelsea.

"As an idea I'm thinking of going back to Monaco, I am almost ready for my return," said the striker.

"It's the best option for me, even to regain the national team."

Monaco chiefs have spoken publicly about welcoming Falcao back for next season.
