Monaco agree to negotiate Falcao fee with Real Madrid

AS Monaco have agreed to negotiate terms with Real Madrid over the sale of Radamel Falcao. Falcao has already agreed personal terms with Real in recent weeks.

AS says Falcao reached a formal agreement with Dmitry Rybolovlev that would oblige Monaco's Russian billionaire owner to sit down and negotiate if Madrid came calling. And that is exactly what will happen in the coming days.

Falcao's agent Jorge Mendes made contact with the Russian owner earlier this summer about the pact.

"He doesn't need to worry; I won't let him down unless Madrid call me," was the reply.

Falcao is desperate to fulfil his dream and one confidant revealed: "If the fans knew how passionately Falcao wants to play for Madrid, they would give him a Mexican wave at the Bernabéu."
