​Radamel Falcao is ready to take a huge hit on his earnings in order to push through a move to Chelsea, according to the ​Mirror.





The Colombian spent last season on loan with Manchester United but failed to impress at Old Trafford, scoring only four goals. United refused to take up their option to sign the player on a permanent deal at the end of the campaign. As it stands, Falcao is back with Monaco and back on the market.









The Ligue 1 club are keen to offload the 29-year-old again this summer because of the straining wages he takes home. Falcao reportedly pockets £265k-a-week and it's too much for Monaco to contend with as it stands.





​Sky Sports reported at the weekend that Chelsea were in talks with the player about a possible move back to the Premier League for Falcao. The Blues are amongst a number of clubs vying for the Colombian star, but now appear to be heading the queue.





And Falcao is reported to be so willing for a deal to happen that he'll happily accept a pay cut. His agent, Jorge Mendes - who also represents Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho - will reportedly negotiate a new wage for the player in the coming weeks.

Chelsea see Falcao as a replacement for Didier Drogba, who has confirmed he will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of his contract. Drogba was playing as a second/third choice striker last season, and Mourinho sees Falcao playing a similar kind of role.





Falcao is said to be happy to do so if it means he can join the Premier League champions, though he'll face time behind Diego Costa and Loic Remy in the pecking order. With any deal mooted as a loan deal for Chelsea.





The former Porto and Atletico Madrid man is keen to resolve his future before this summer's Copa America - where he will captain Colombia.
