Falcao García: Unexpected Club Interest & Fan Vote

Falcao García has already been on sabbatical for six months, off the pitch, since he decided to step aside when he was wearing the Millonarios shirt.

The ‘Tigre’ did not want to renew his relationship with Millonarios in the middle of 2025, and preferred to be with his family, traveling to different places to rest, while the offers arrived.

One of the first clubs that scouted him was Deportivo Cali, through coach Alberto Gamero, who coached him in the blue team of Bogotá.

“I told him that at Deportivo Cali I needed a 9, but he explained to me that it was difficult for him to play for another Colombian team other than Millonarios,” coach Alberto Gamero told El País at the time.

Later, Falcao received offers from other clubs, but the Samaria forward remained in his position of waiting a little longer, and enjoying being with his family.

Already ending 2025, the former Colombia National Team player was willing to listen to proposals to start 2026 with a defined team.

I already want to play, but I still don’t know where,” Falcao said recently in Cali during Mario Yepes’ farewell.

Falcao has a request from Argentine football, and there is speculation about interest from Gimnasia de La Plata; There is a proposal from Brazil, but apparently the team does not seduce him.

In the midst of speculation, a new proposal arose and it is from Ecuadorian football. From the neighboring country it is assured that Emelec would be after the services of ‘Tigre’.

The information, through an account that follows Emelec news, assures that “there are already approaches from the blue board and from the player’s environment they are analyzing the proposal, the player has declared that he wants to continue playing, he is just waiting to know where.”

If Emelec’s offer is true, it is not yet known what the Colombian forward’s response will be, taking into account that Emelec is going through a difficult economic situation, with non-payment, which has generated sanctions from Fifa to be able to sign.

In addition, Colombian coaches Hernan Torres and Leonel Álvarez passed through that club, who witnessed the difficult financial situation of the Ecuadorian team.

It is likely that before the end of 2025, Falcao will announce his new team to start 2026.
