Falcao signing confirmed as Colombian joins Galatasaray on free transfer

Galatasaray have confirmed the signing of Radamel Falcao as the Colombian star completes his move to Turkey from Monaco.

Falcao, who did not feature for Monaco to start the Ligue 1 season due to an ankle injury, had been linked to Galatasaray throughout the transfer window.

Galatasaray confirmed negotiations with the striker this week before Falcao was welcomed by a crowd of thousands upon his arrival to Istanbul on Sunday night.

“An agreement has been reached with the professional football player Radamel Falcao Garcia Zarate and his club AS Monaco Football Club for a free transfer of the player," Galatasaray announced on Monday.
