Hankering for a move to the Bernabeu? You could do a lot worse than likening the current club president of Real Madrid to God.

According to AS, that’s exactly what injured superstar Radamel Falcao has been saying to his teammates while in camp at the World Cup in Brazil.

Now, talk of the striker heading to Atletico’s archrivals is nothing new — we’ve covered it here before on TT — but whispers of the move have been coming in thick and fast over the past couple of days, and everything seems to be coming from Falcao himself.

AS quoted one of the striker’s Colombian teammates saying, “Falcao thinks he’s going to join Real Madrid this summer. He dreams of playing there and is only prepared to listen to offers from Los Blancos.” A while back, Falcao’s very own father said that all the 28-year-old ever wanted to do was pull on the more famous Madrid shirt.
