Monaco forward Radamel Falcao 'offers himself to Real Madrid'

Monaco forward Radamel Falcao has reportedly indicated that he would be willing to join Real Madrid in January.

Falcao has spent the last five years contracted to the Ligue 1 outfit, with 67 goals being scored from 108 appearances in all competitions.

However, the 33-year-old is currently part of a team which is struggling at the bottom end of the top-flight standings and who have already been eliminated from the Champions League.

According to Marca, that has resulted in Falcao being open to a return to Madrid, where he enjoyed an excellent two-year spell with Atletico between 2011 and 2013.

Falcao currently has just over a year-and-a-half remaining on his deal at Stade Louis II, although Monaco may wish to keep the frontman at the club until at least the summer.

Real Madrid had struggled for goals under Julen Lopetegui, but 13 have been scored in four games since Santiago Solari was placed in charge.
