Radamel Falcao's father has revealed there was also
interest from Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal in his son, while Real Madrid
were unwilling to make a financial effort to sign the striker
The Colombian international was strongly linked with a
move to the Bernabeu stadium this summer but the deal did not materialise.
Falcao instead joined Manchester United on a season-loan
loan from Monaco on the final day of the transfer window.
"The deal with Real Madrid did not happen because if
you have money and you go to the market to buy a shirt or a pair of trousers,
you have to decide whether to buy it or not," Falcao's father Radamel
Garcia said to Colombian radio station LA FM.
"Real Madrid chose not to.
"I don't know, I have the feeling they wanted the
player for free with a number of conditions.
"In any case, they bought the trousers and shirt
they wanted and they considered that to be better.
"We have to accept it."
Despite being turned down by Real, the 28-year-old
forward had plenty of offers on the table, according to his father.
"The clubs that showed an interest in him were
Juventus, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal at the last minute,"
Garcia said. "Fortunately, he has arrived to Manchester United, a great
club.
"Thank God everything came through with United.
"Radamel is a person who has given a lot in Europe
and has always deserved the best for all the effort, all the sacrifices he has
made during his football career.
"United is the most important team in England and
one of the most powerful from an economic standpoint.
"Now it's his (Falcao's) turn to give his best, to
be ready and continue to win titles."
