Ancelotti rejects Falcao link

Carlo Ancelotti has hailed Radamel Falcao as a “great player” but insists the Colombian will not be making a move to Real Madrid any time soon.

Monaco striker Falcao has missed the Ligue 1 side’s last three matches with a thigh injury, with the 27-year-old dismissing speculation that his absence was evidence of an imminent move away from the club.

Real have been linked with a move for the man who was lured from city rivals Atletico for a reported €60million in May this year, but Ancelotti played down the link.

“Falcao is a great player, but – as I said – at this moment we are very happy with all our strikers,” Ancelotti said.

“We are scoring many many goals and we are combining well. For that, currently I don’t think Falcao is a player for us.”

Prior to his injury-enforced lay-off, Falcao had scored nine goals in 14 French top-flight matches.

But goals have come freely for Ancelotti’s charges this term, with Real’s 44 strikes from 15 games the highest tally in La Liga
