Despite missing out on this summer's World Cup due to a knee injury, Monaco attacker Radamel Falcao is still very much a wanted man across Europe, if reports are to be believed.
The Colombian star is reportedly keen on a move to Real Madrid, where he would join compatriot James Rodriguez after his own big money move from the Ligue 1 side this summer. However, the capital club have already spent quite a pretty penny this summer on transfers and will be wary of spending more as they do not want to breach FFP regulations.
However, his move to the club looks to be dead in the water for two reasons.
Monaco, who paid £50 million for him last season have already lost one prized asset and will not be willing to let him go on the cheap. And, most recently, Carlo Ancelotti was quoted as stating that they will not be looking to sign anyone else this summer.
However, that has not stopped the media from linking him with other clubs, namely Liverpool, and now, as per Italian and English reports, Juventus have also joined the queue.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that with Valencia keen on Fernando Llorente, the Bianconeri would look to use some money from that sale in order to fund a loan deal for Falcao.
However, as with many sides in Italy, funds are an issue and whether the reigning Scudetto champions could offer a competitive wage packet for the 28-year-old remains to be seen, if these reports of their interest are to be believed.
