Monaco president announces Falcao signing

Monaco's billionaire Russian owner Dmitry Rybolovlev announced on Friday the signature of Colombia forward Radamel Falcao from Atletico Madrid in a deal believed to be worth about 60 million euros ($77 million).

"I would like to officially announce that Falcao has signed his contract," Rybolovlev said through a French interpreter at an event celebrating Monaco's promotion to the French top flight next season with Prince Albert of Monaco and coach Claudio Ranieri also present.

Rybolovlev didn't give any details about the size of the transfer, although Monaco said on its website the player had signed for five years.

"I am very happy at his arrival," said Ranieri, who was Chelsea manager when it lost to Monaco in the 2004 Champions League semifinals.

"He is a very important player for us, a great player and a great goal scorer.

"We want to build a very good team around him. He plays for the team but is also very efficient around goal. He is very impressive," said the Italian.

"When I arrived at this club, I knew what the project was. Now everyone understands my decision," he said about taking over the coaching duties when the club was playing second division soccer.

Although the fee has not been disclosed, media sources in France claim it is one of the largest, if not the largest in the country's history.

Monaco vice-president Jean-Louis Campora said: "We will not be giving any details on the content of the contract right now because we have an appeal in progress. We will give them in the future."

That appeal relates to a decision by the Professional Football League that forces Ligue 1 teams to be based in France from 2014.

Falcao had a 60 million euro buy-out clause in his Atletico contract but some media sources claim the actual transfer fee is 45 million euros with the player due to pick up an annual salary of 14 million euros.

If those figures are accurate it would still make Falcao one of the most expensive buys in French soccer history.

The current biggest transfers were the 40-45 million euros Paris Saint-Germain paid AC Milan for Brazilian Thiago Silva and the 40 million euros it handed over to Sao Paulo for Lucas Moura.

Since being bought by the Qatar Investment Authority in 2011, PSG turned French club soccer on its head by bringing an until then unheard of and unrivalled spending potential into the country.
