Manchester United flop Radamal Falcao took a £145,000 wage cut to join Premier League champions Chelsea on-loan.
Desperate to prove his worth in England following a miserable season-long loan in Manchester, the Daily Mail claim Falcao has reduced his wage demands from an eye-watering £285,000 a week to £140,000 in order to move to Stamford Bridge.
Falcao scored just 4 goals in 29 appearances at Old Trafford last season and eventually found himself down the pecking order behind the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and James Wilson, form that ultimately led to Louis van Gaal deciding not to pursue a permanent deal.
The Colombian international has been prolific at every other club he’s featured for, scoring 72 in 87 for Porto and 70 in 91 games for Atletico Madrid.
‘I am very happy to be joining Chelsea,’ Falcao told the BBC.
‘I can’t wait to start training, to help with our aim of retaining the league title and being successful in Europe.
