Radamel Falcao’s Chelsea misery is over as he prepares to re-join Monaco.

The Colombian was once one of the most feared strikers in the world after shining for Porto and Atletico Madrid.

However, a big-money move to Monaco was blighted by a serious knee injury — and two disastrous seasons with Manchester United and Chelsea ensued.

And he has now posted a picture of himself on Instagram undergoing a medical at the Ligue 1 club.

‘El Tigre’ moved to Atletico Madrid after three seasons at Porto, which yielded 72 goals in 87 appearances.

His goal scoring didn’t wilt in Spain as he continued to find the back of the net on a regular basis under Diego Simeone.

Falcao’s goals helped Atletico win the Europa League in 2012, and truly came to the attention of the Premier League after his hat-trick down European champions, Chelsea, in the Uefa Super Cup later that year.

Considered one of the best strikers around, it was somewhat of a surprise when he moved to newly-promoted Monaco — who had received a cash boost due recent Russian investment — in the summer of 2013.

But, after just seven months into his spell in France, he suffered a serious ACL injury and would go on to miss that summer’s World Cup, where Colombia excelled without their captain.

Despite question marks over his fitness, United boss Louis van Gaal took a punt on Falcao and brought him to Old Trafford on loan that summer.

However, it was a disastrous move which yielded just four goals and it was decided the deal would not be renewed.

Jose Mourinho decided to bring him to Chelsea as a squad player.

But that went even worse as Falcao netted just ONCE in a meagre 12 appearances.

He was even replaced in the Champions League squad by January arrival, Alexandre Pato.
