Five “great clubs” for Manchester United loan flop Radamel Falcao

Bayern dominate the Bundesliga and are joint market leaders for Champions League glory, though Falcao would still false nine favourites Mario Gotze and Thomas Muller to contend with a spot in magnificent Munich’s attack. Their wide stars, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, are getting old too, so he could come in as part of an overhaul, which pushes other forwards out to the wing.

PSG
You’d think Monaco mad to sell their prized asset to a domestic rival in France’s Ligue 1, but eyebrows were raised recently by Leonardo Jardim allowing Argentine winger Lucas Ocampos to make a loan switch to Marseille.

PSG will be aware of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s contract situation. His deal at the Parc des Princes is up in 2016, and the same can be said of Ezequiel Lavezzi. Falcao is four years younger than the Sweden superstar, so this option cannot be ruled out.

Inter Milan
The Nerazzurri are in desperate need of a centre forward to act as a foil to promising Argentine attacker Mauro Icardi. Falcao fits the bill nicely, but Roberto Mancini will be unable to attract him to the San Siro, despite investor Erick Thohir’s billions, if Inter don’t get into the Champions League.

Lukas Podolski is only on loan from Arsenal, so his long-term future remains up in the air, while Rodrigo Palacio has averaged a pathetic one goal in every five games. Inter are 14/1 shots to win the Europa League.

Valencia
It’s fair to say Los Che loan signings Rodrigo Moreno and Alvaro Negredo have flopped as badly as, if not worse than, Falcao. Both have three La Liga goals for the Bats, who are still somehow in the hunt for Champions League football next term.

Valencia would be a great place for Falcao to revive his fortunes, and help develop Paco Alcacer into a world-class striker. Owner Peter Lim certainly has the financial clout to make it happen but, as with Inter, it does depend on Los Che returning to Europe’s elite club competition.
