Possible teams for Falcao if he must leave Galatasaray: MLS and alternatives | Colombians Abroad

They gave him no alternative. It didn’t matter that he cut his salary, that he struggled to overcome the physical problems that prevented him from responding to people’s expectations, more than anything. They let him get excited about the rematch and be disappointed now.

For President Burak Elmas what really matters is how much it costs. Nothing more. He had the detail of telling him, in person, that there was a way to pay his fees and that he would be free to look for another course, nothing happens with the year of his contract that he has left, they just want to take the nominal burden off his shoulders.

The desire not to pass through Istanbul in vain will be the first thing that you place now in your luggage. The issue is to which destination the moving truck will send.

Falcao is 35 years old and has an unwavering competitive spirit, which his body seems to no longer keep up with. But that does not mean that it cannot be definitive for a team that needs a man of experience, a leader, a voice of command. I wish we had better news, Millonarios fans, but even if I have to leave Turkey immediately, it is not realistic to think that I would land in Bogotá.

In principle, you should look at the leagues that can sustain the cost of a stellar and a good track can be the destination you have chosen to spend your vacation.

Although originally he was not interested in the exotic leagues of the Middle East and rejected calls from Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Japan, last March he went with his family to a farm in Dubai, where everyone had a great time.

The other possible destination would be the United States MLS. There was talk of that option in the past, there was talk of Inter Miami, Nashville, but in the end the offers did not materialize. Again, the track from the last vacation in Florida could be interpreted by a wink:

The issue is that soccer in the United States, as Colombian coach Wilmer Cabrera explained to this portal, now demands that players arrive at the highest physical and soccer level, which explains the signings of young players, such as Santiago Moreno, former America and now a Portland Timbers player. For veterans like Falcao there is the option of being franchise players, it would be necessary to see if it interests a team, hopefully with a Latin fan, so that the investment is made.

A last option, which is usually more from desire than from reality, is a return to River Plate, which the forward himself has slipped in the past. Again, the economic situation after the pandemic does not allow these ambitious signings.

In all these cases the final requirement for the player will be the same: if he wants to find a team in Europe, where Samarium himself would not like to leave for a couple of years, it is a drastic salary reduction. That and the need not to impose the interest of businessman Jorge Mendes for his commission, may open an option for the Colombian. His return to the Reinaldo Rueda National Team also depends on that.
