City plan to table bid and beat Chelsea to Falcao deal – report

Manchester City plan to make a £45m bid for Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao, according to The Sun.

It is claimed Chelsea are eyeing the Colombian but that City boss Roberto Mancini has already met with Falcao’s agent.

City chiefs are said to be willing to fund a January move if they can get back the £24m they paid Inter Milan for Mario Balotelli in August 2010.

Mancini is tipped to sell wayward forward Balotelli when the transfer window opens.

It is also suggested that Falcao, who has hit 49 goals in 60 Atletico appearances, will demand £200,000-a-week wages.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail say Fulham are interested in Molde defender Vegard Forren.
