EXCLUSIVE: Roman targets Atletico striker Falcao after giving up on £50m Torres

Roman Abramovich is ready to concede his £50million gamble on Fernando Torres has failed and step up his pursuit of Colombia sensation Radamel Falcao.
The Chelsea owner will make funds available for Roberto Di Matteo to recruit a new striker, and Atletico Madrid’s prized asset is impressed by the European champions’ ambition.

Manchester City and Real Madrid are also interested in the 26-year-old forward, who scored a stunning hat-trick against Chelsea in the European Super Cup. But Falcao said: ‘Chelsea are champions of Europe and there is not much more to say than that. Even after winning the Champions League they still go and sign players of the highest quality. Their ambition is clear.

‘I would not be worried about the physical aspect of the Premier League. I have scored goals in Argentina, Portugal and now Spain. I am confident I can adapt my game to any league. I would welcome the challenge of the Premier League.
'I was also a big fan of Gianfranco Zola when I was growing up. I have watched the Premier League for a long time. There is so much quality and it is such an exciting league. Of course it is nice to think I might play in it.’

Financial difficulties mean Atletico will almost definitely have to cash in on the 26-year-old, if not in January then the end of the season. There is a £48m release clause in Falcao’s contract.

Chelsea will wait until the summer if necessary — such is the player’s loyalty to Atletico he would first like to help them secure Champions League football — but Abramovich’s desire to see him at Stamford Bridge is sure to spell the end for the misfiring Torres.

After Didier Drogba’s departure in the summer, Abramovich had hoped Torres would finally rediscover the form that persuaded him to smash the British transfer record to sign him from Liverpool in 2011.

But the 28-year-old has shown little sign of improvement, scoring only four Premier League goals this season and delivering another disappointing performance against Liverpool last weekend.

It has been mooted in Spain that Torres could return to his beloved Atletico, who sold him to Liverpool for £25m in 2007, as part of the deal that takes Falcao to London. Chelsea defender David Luiz would certainly welcome the arrival of Falcao.

After facing the Atletico star in the 1-1 draw between Brazil and Colombia in New Jersey on Wednesday night, Luiz said: ‘I’m happy when there are great names attached to Chelsea. He’s a great player. It would be a good choice for Falcao to come to Chelsea. All of the players would be happy.’

Bayer Leverkusen forward Andre Schurrle is a possible alternative but it is clear Falcao wants to move. In an interview earlier this week he told Radio Caracol: ‘The chance of playing in another league and for another club will come. I keep dreaming.’

Ditch Torres and sign Falcao, says Gullit as former Chelsea boss hits out at £50m striker

Chelsea have been urged to ditch flop Fernando Torres and replace him with Atletico Madrid sensation Falcao.

That is the firm view of former Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit, who has called on the club to end the £50m striker's Stamford Bridge hell.
He said: 'If he can't still do it at Chelsea, then they are going to have to look somewhere else. I think Falcao is a very good striker.

'I said at the beginning of the season that Chelsea might need another striker but obviously they wanted to give Torres a chance. If he has taken it, I don't know.'
Torres, the most expensive player in British transfer record history, has scored just 19 times since his move from Liverpool in 2011.

He has seen his performances questioned amid speculation that the club are finally losing patience with him, with Roman Abramovich said to be keen on splashing out £48m on Atletico ace Falcao.

And Gullit, speaking at an ASPIRE4SPORTevent , has questioned whether Torres has really taken the chances given to him by the club.
'What he did in the past with Atletico, and Liverpool especially, was unbelievable,' Gullit added. 'For some reason he can't do it at Chelsea, it's a mystery to me.'

EXCLUSIVE: Farewell Torres? Chelsea's £50m flop wants return to Spain as he faces axe for crunch Juventus clash
Fernando Torres is facing the embarrassment of being axed for Chelsea's crucial Champions League clash against Juventus as it emerges he wants to move back to Spain.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed last week how Blues owner Roman Abramovich has accepted his £50million gamble on the Spain international has failed and was ready to move the striker out of Stamford Bridge.
And Torres has his heart set on a return to Spain as he looks to recapture the form that made him one of the most feared strikers in the world.

The idea of having the Chelsea failure on his CV certainly irks the ex-Liverpool striker, but he has privately accepted he must leave west London, with Spain his preferred destination.
Potentially, Torres could return to Atletico Madrid as part of Chelsea's move to sign Radamel Falcao.

Torres' disastrous spell at Stamford Bridge plummeted further on Saturday after putting in another lacklustre display in the 2-1 defeat against West Bromwich.

And Roberto Di Matteo is today giving serious consideration to dropping the club's record signing for the trip to Turin.

Last week, Di Matteo admitted any manager would love to have Falcao in his team as Chelsea step up their interest in the Atletico striker.
Abramovich is ready to concede his £50m gamble on Torres has failed and the Blues owner will make funds available for Di Matteo.
Manchester City and Real Madrid are also interested in the 26-year-old Falcao, who scored a stunning hat-trick against Chelsea in the European Super Cup.

On Friday, Di Matteo said: 'Falcao is one of the best strikers, probably, in European and world football. His ratio of goals per game is quite impressive not just this season but over the last three years, at Porto and Atletico Madrid. If you ask any manager, he'd have him in his team.
'I know the window's nearing and there'll be a lot of speculation for our club, but whatever we do we'll keep it behind closed doors.'

Atletico’s prized asset is impressed by the Blues' ambition, saying: ‘Chelsea are champions of Europe and there is not much more to say than that. Even after winning the Champions League they still go and sign players of the highest quality. Their ambition is clear.

‘I would not be worried about the physical aspect of the Premier League. I have scored goals in Argentina, Portugal and now Spain. I am confident I can adapt my game to any league. I would welcome the challenge of the Premier League.

[Lecter]

Wouldnt surprise me if we tried to get him on loan

[Tee]

He won't come back. I honestly think he is too stubborn and arrogant now to concede defeat and come back to Liverpool. If anything he wil return to Atletico and enjoy his true homecoming.

[Chazza]

As part of a deal for Falcao.

[Bender]

clearly he knows he should never have left.....sign him would i
