Atletico Madrid star Radamel Falcao is set to snub interest from
Chelsea and Man City in favour of a money spinning move to Monaco.
The 27-year-old Colombian has an incredible scoring record with the La Liga side which has drawn interest from all of Europe's top clubs.
But it is the Ligue 1 newboys who have secured his signature for a reported £52million.
Monaco assistant coach Jean Petit is reported to have told Radio RCN: "Yes, we are expecting Falcao and four or five other players of his quality.
"We have spoken and we continue to speak with Falcao and his representatives, negotiations are ongoing. We hope to seal a deal as soon as possible.
"Monaco need a player like Falcao because he can help us a lot and because he can attract other top players, and that's the best way of confirming out project is big and interesting.
"Signing Falcao is a big coup on sporting and media levels for French football."
The striker is expected to undergo a medical at Monaco on Monday in what sure to be a blow to incoming Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
