Falcao and Valdes arrived to Monaco for medical

World’s most sought-after striker Atletico Madrid Radamel Falcao and Barcelona misfit Valdes are just a step away from signing a deal with Monaco.

Falcao and Valdes arrived to Monaco to have their medicals.

In-demand 27-year-old Columbian striker has long been linked with a move to Premier League with Chelsea and Manchester City being touted as most likely destinations. However it looks like the switch of Falcao to the recently promoted Ligue 1 side is all but completed. Falcao will follow the path of his former teammates Porto duo Joao Moutinho and Jamez Rodriguez, who joined Monaco last week for a total fee of £60 million.

Valdes shocked Barcelona fans after making a request to allow him leave on a free transfer at the end of the season, even though he has a one year left on his deal.
