Though a press release, FC Porto have confirmed that they have agreed to a transfer with La Liga side Atletico Madrid for the services of striker Radamel Falcao. The Colombian international has an absolutely exceptional scoring record in the Portuguese Liga and European competitions over the last two seasons, having set the all-time record for goals in one European competition last season. The fee will be €40 million up front with a possible €7 million in escalators.

Falcao will not be a direct replacement for Sergio Aguero, but he will certainly lessen the blow of the Argentinian's departure to Manchester City. More than likely, Falcao will actually be a replacement for Diego Forlan, who has been linked to Inter Milan, along with various clubs in Turkey and the Middle East. Falcao scored an incredible 73 goals in 88 games in his time at Porto, 30 of those coming last season as Porto won an impressive treble.
