Real Madrid have not dropped their interest in Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao. Falcao is on-loan at United from AS Monaco this season.

The Daily Star says several publications in Spain claim last season's Champions League winners are still keen to snap up the former Atletico Madrid striker, who has scored two goals in 10 appearances for the Red Devils this season.

And it seems that they are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to land the Colombian international.

Sources in Spain claim Real are so desperate to sign the 28-year-old that they are willing to sell Karim Benzema to Liverpool in order to fund a bid for the Monaco loanee.
