Atletico Madrid want Hernandez to replace Falcao
Atletico
Madrid are hoping that Manchester United's Javier Hernandez can be the
man to fill Radamel Falcao's boots should the striker depart as expected
in January. Falcao, 26, has become the most sought-after striker in
Europe and Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are queuing
up to meet his £46m release clause in the next transfer window. The
Colombian has already expressed his desire to leave the Spanish capital
and Atletico hope to lure Mexican Hernandez as his replacement. The
24-year-old arrived in England for a fee of around £7m in 2010 but
despite making an instant impact at the club he has fallen behind Wayne
Rooney, Danny Welbeck and summer arrival Robin van Persie in the Old
Trafford pecking order this season. Hernandez - who netted 20 goals in
his debut campaign at United when he started the Champions League final
-has just started just one Premier League game this season and has
netted just once in seven appearances. Fiorentina are also interested in
a January move for the man nicknamed 'Chicharito' but they are only
willing to pay £8m and will be gazumped should Atletico be funded by the
sale of Falcao.
