25,000 Galatasaray Fans Greet Radamel Falcao as Florin Andone Also Joins Turkish Giants

Colombian striker Radamel Falcao received a hero's welcome when he arrived in Istanbul, ahead of making his transfer to Galatasaray from Monaco official.

The 33-year-old looks set to join the Turkish side after six years at les Monégasques - with two seasons spent on loan at Manchester United and Chelsea.

The official Galatasaray Twitter account released a statement confirming that official talks had already begun between the two clubs ahead of Falcao's move to Turkey, and the ex-Atletico Madrid man was greeted by a huge crowd of expectant supporters.

The Galatasaray faithful, which reports claim reached 25,000, were also treated to a rousing chant from Falcao, who led a bouncing sing-a-long, much to the audience's delight.
