Journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez uncovered information on Wednesday, of which Mark has been echoed, in which it was stated that Radamel Falcao had aroused the interest of Junior from Barranquilla Colombian. The journalist’s source was former Atlético de Madrid player Luis Amaranto Perea. Rumors, however, indicate that, although Junior has enough money to bring Falcao back to his native Colombia, the player has already expressed his desire to retire at Millonarios de Bogotá, the team he is a fan of and in which he plays. Alfredo Di Stéfano played before doing it at Real Madrid.
Radamel Falcao is currently happy at Rayo Vallecano, a club that has more than achieved the goal of remaining in the 1st Division. The Colombian has also more than delivered in Vallecas, scoring 6 goals in the league, most of them in the first half of the season, where Rayo got most of the 42 points they currently have.
Perea contradicts Vélez
Luis Amaranto Perea, who until recently was Junior’s technical director, has denied the claims of Carlos Antonio Vélez. “I have never said that Falcao was close to arriving. It has never been contemplated, at least when I was in Junior, that Falcao could arrive. That is new for me. At no time have I said that Falcao was close, because I would be lying That didn’t happen with me.” That’s how blunt the former Atlético de Madrid player was, of which Falcao is a legend, and with whom he coincided in the 2011/2012 season.
