Real Madrid offered chance to sign Ligue 1 superstar to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona make huge Paul Pogba decision and more: Transfer Round-up, November 17, 2018

Radamel Falcao offers himself to Real Madrid

Radamel Falcao, one of the best strikers in the world in his prime, has now offered himself to Real Madrid, as per Marca (via Express). Falcao, who is currently at AS Monaco, is struggling just like his side that is languishing at a shocking 19th place on the Ligue 1 table after 13 games.

Real Madrid are going through quite a lean patch themselves and with Karim Benzema struggling in front of goal, they are in desperate need of a hitman up front and Falcao could very well prove to be a temporary solution.

Falcao is no stranger to the LaLiga and has served Atletico Madrid gloriously in his younger days. He was, in fact, linked with a move to Los Blancos at the time. However, a knee injury altered his career path significantly and he ended up playing in the Premier League where he had a dismal spell at Manchester United and Chelsea.
