Chelsea are preparing a mega £10 million-a-year
offer to bring the highly rated Radamel Falcao to
Stamford Bridge.
Reports from the Daily Mail have suggested that
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will offer the
Colombian a £200,000-a-week contract, which is
more than Fernando Torres’ current £175,000-a-week
deal.
Abramovich has been keen to lower the average age
of his squad in the summer and has signed promising
young players to replace departing ageing stars.
Eden Hazard, Victor Moses and Oscar have all entered
the Blues this season, whilst Frank Lampard and
Ashley Cole have both been heavily linked with moves
away from the club.
Torres joined the club over a season ago and has
struggled to recapture the form he showed when
entering the Premier League with Liverpool.
The Spaniard now looks set to be replaced by Falcao
in the Chelsea team, as Abramovich looks to revitalise
the Blues’ Premier League title push after being
dumped out of the Champions League.
