Monaco look like they're spending some serious money. £60m for João Moutinho and James Rodríguez from Porto and now £50m on Falcao. Although I think Falcao will only be a temporary signing, before possibly moving to Real due to some arrangement they have with Atletico not to buy each others players direct. Real may be helping to finance Monaco's signing, using them as a kind of halfway house, with an agreement that he'll move on to Real in a season or so.
Either way, it seems to put a lid on any ideas about Falcao being Prem-bound.
