KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Bid for Falcao accepted?

Liverpool have reportedly tabled an offer to sign River Plate striker Radamel Falcao.

Falcao appeared set to sign for Benfica after River Plate paid off the €400,000 debt they had to the the Colombian forward.

However, according to news daily A Bola, Liverpool have lodged a late €3.5 million offer to beat Benfica to the signing of the player.

Although Liverpool's bid is slightly inferior to the one made by Benfica, the prospect of playing in the Premier League may prompt Falcao to choose Anfield as his final destination.

Benfica and River Plate are thought to have agreed a €4 million deal for 80 per cent of Falcao's playing rights, but the final decision now rests on the striker's shoulders.

There'e a lot of different news sites that's reporting on this, and even thou I know little about him he seems like a perfect back-up to Torres, and he would only cost us around £3m.

who is this guy....we need quality,not unknown players

i do like the south american flair, ala saviola etc, but do we really play 2 strikers? with kuyt as winger/striker and hopefully mata or the like is that enough? i would think a reserve player would stick with being on the bench better than anyone we buy in

He actually seem like a great player. Was on his way to one of the top sides in europe some years ago but a serious injury came in the way. Barca, Milan, United and Arsenal are some of the clubs that has previously been linked with him. £3m for a player like that seem very cheap...If we're gong to bring in another striker then this would be a great signing, and we would also have money over to sign Silva or Mata.

Truly this cant be Rafa's first choice? Keirrison was number one until his money grabbing agents started prostituting him to the whole of Europe.

The youtube clips of him are decent but so is Sissoko's
