Radamel Falcao leaving Rayo Vallecano?
Radamel Falcao, the 38-year-old Colombian forward known as 'El Tigre,' has decided to spend the final stages of his career in his home country. He has signed a contract with Millonarios FC, a team in the Colombian Premier League. This marks the first time in his professional career that he has returned to play in Colombia. Falcao greeted dozens of enthusiastic fans outside his hotel, showing his excitement about the move. His contract with the Spanish LaLiga team Rayo Vallecano had expired, leading to his departure from the club.
Radamel Falcao's future remains uncertain. The Colombian striker's contract with Rayo Vallecano is expiring, but he has yet to make a decision about his future. In an interview with Marca, the former Monaco player spoke about his future: "I don't know yet - began the striker of the Madrid formation - but I think I will have to travel again. This is a period in which I will be looking for something else, more continuity, a place where I can make the most of these last years of my career. I still feel quite good to compete. And I will seek new horizons to achieve this goal".
At the end of his contract with Rayo Vallecano this summer, Radamel Falcao seems to have made a decision about his future. The 38-year-old striker, who scored a single goal in 21 matches played in La Liga this season, told Marca that his future seems to be elsewhere.
Falcao mentions that he will likely have to travel again, indicating a possible transfer. He is looking for more continuity and a place where he can enjoy the last years of his career to the fullest. He also mentions a desire to attract the attention of his national team coach for the Copa America.
Falcao's words in DAZN also sounded like a farewell: 'Thank you for these three years and wish you many successes for the future. Mine? I do not know. I finish on June 30 and I will see what options I have. I feel good, I want to keep playing.'
Radamel Falcao's contract with Rayo Vallecano will expire on June 30. He has expressed interest in continuing to play, but with another team. It is suggested that he may be interested in playing in Liga MX, the top professional football division of the Mexican football league system. However, there is currently no known negotiation between Falcao and Mexican clubs.
Radamel Falcao could be living his last weeks as a player of Rayo Vallecano. The Colombian striker, who arrived in Vallecas in the summer of 2021, is in his third season with the team, with a total of 67 league matches and 9 goals. This season, 'Tigre' has participated in 18 of the 32 matches played so far, accumulating a total of 246 minutes, with an average below 14 minutes per appearance, which perfectly illustrates the secondary role he is playing. Thus, his departure from Vallecas seems sung. And everything points out that his destination would be the Mexican league. According to various sources from that country, it is Falcao himself who would be moving to find accommodation in some team of the Liga Mx in what, they assure, will be 'the final challenge of his career'.
Radamel Falcao might leave Rayo Vallecano at the end of the season when his contract expires. There are no signs of renewal. The most credited hypothesis, to date, is that the Colombian forward would fly to Latin America in the final stages of his career. The right destination could be Mexico. However, no negotiations between Falcao and Mexican clubs are known yet.
Radamel Falcao is considering leaving Europe and returning to America to finish his career. According to the Mexican press (Diario Record), Radamel Falcao is analyzing a possible return to football in the American continent, specifically to Mexico, after having shone at River Plate at the beginning of his career.
