Falcao: While I was playing for Atletico, Florentino wanted to sign me

Hupu September 20th Falcao is one of the best strikers in Atletico Madrid's history. The Colombian has only played for two seasons, but has left an indelible mark, and few people can match his data. The truth is that after his transfer to Monaco, the player had a chance to return to Atletico Madrid. The Colombian talked about this in an interview with Mario Suarez's new show, "The Road to Mario". The player revealed that he was close to returning to Atletico Madrid in 2016, but someone in the technical team rejected the deal. “It seems that it’s someone on the technical team, not Simeone, who decided not to do that,” he said, regretting the situation at the time. “People don’t know, but could have been treated in another way, out of respect for everything I have given,” he added on the Mario Road channel.

He also talked about another thing that happened during his time at Atletico Madrid when Real Madrid tried to sign him. "At a dinner, Florentino put a napkin in front of me and asked me to sign with Real Madrid. Casillas was there, and Atletico's news director Rafa kept saying to me, 'No, please, put it away.' That was a very embarrassing moment for me because Florentino wanted me, and Rafa on the other side looked very uncomfortable."

Although Real Madrid intends to introduce him, he is well aware that he cannot join the mortal enemy of the Bedsheet Legion. “But I mean a lot to Atletico Madrid and I already agree with this club and what it means to all the fans,” he added.
