Radamel Falcao tells friends he's joining Real Madrid?

Radamel Falcao has reportedly informed close friends that he will leave French outfit Monaco for Real Madrid this summer.

A report last week had claimed that the 28-year-old, who moved to Monaco from Atletico Madrid last summer, had already agreed personal terms with Los Blancos.

"Falcao's future is in God's hands – and in this case God is [Real Madrid president Florentino] Perez," AS quotes an unnamed member of the Colombian national squad.

Despite Falcao's reported arrival, Karim Benzema is still expected to sign a new deal with the club.

Falcao is still recovering from a serious knee injury.
