Reported Middlesbrough target Radamel Falcao says he expects to return to pre-season training with Monaco later this month.

That didn’t work out for Monaco or Falcao, as they finished second that year while Falcao got injured half-way through the season which forced him to miss the World Cup that year.
“I am excited and committed with the beginning of the trainings with the club”.
Radamel Falcao, Colombia’s all-time leading scorer in worldwide competition, was cut from the national team before Copa America Centenario began.
Such positive feelings didn’t amount to much, though, with Diego Costa and Loic Remy ahead of the 30-year-old in the Chelsea pecking order.
A regular scorer wherever he’s gone before arriving in England, Falcao failed to cut the mustard in his time in the Premier League.
Falcao is under contract in Monaco until the summer of 2018, but his astronomical wages have made the Ligue 1 side open to loan deals.
According to Bleacher Report, Boro want to sign the striker from Monaco.
He earned £275,000-a-week at United and was paid £140,000-a-week at Chelsea.

Falcao’s agent Jorge Mendes has close ties with Boro boss Aitor Karanka and that has led to the speculation regarding a potential transfer to the Riverside Stadium.
