Atletico Madrid have stated that they would not stand in Radamel Falcao’s way, if the striker decides to leave the club this summer.
The Colombian has been strongly linked with Ligue 2 winners, Monaco and Chelsea in the past few months, after another impressive season with the Spanish side, in which he scored 34 goals in all competitions.
It is also understood that Falcao has a £54million buy-out clause in his contract and the club’s general manager Miguel Angel Gil Marin said: ‘Before the start of the season we talked with [Falcao] and we promised him if he keeps the same performance and he helps us to arrive to the Uefa Champions League next season, Atletico will help you.
“Every decision he will take, Atletico will be with him.”
Marin was also bullish about finding the right replacement for the red-hot frontman, pointing out that the club has been able to find good strikers in the market.
“Atletico knows how to change the good striker – Fernando Torres, [Diego] Forlan, [Sergio] Aguero, now Falcao,” he added.
“I don’t know exactly which will be the next one, but you can be sure Atletico will have a strong team next season.”
The 27-year-old arrived from Porto two seasons ago for £35million.
