Simeone admits Chelsea target Falcao to leave Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone concedes Radamel Falcao could leave this summer. Falcao is a top target for Chelsea.

"It is complicated, but it would be fabulous if he stayed," Simeone told Al Primer Toque.

"I am not his agent. I am not Falcao. Falcao has given me a lot and is a player with commitment, and I respect him a lot for that. The fans do not have to judge him after all he has given.

"[Fernando] Torres went and [Sergio] Aguero came, which was a risky bet. [Diego] Forlan went and Falcao came. If he does end up leaving, another competitive player will surely arrive."

 Is Simeone preparing fans for Falcao's departure? Is Chelsea the best option? Give us your shout below...
