Manchester City and Chelsea are on red alert after 46m target Radamel Falcao admitted he's 'dreaming of a move'.

The Premier League rivals are expected to make a move for the Atletico Madrid striker in the January transfer window.

And hot shot Falcao, who has scored 10 goals in La Liga this season, has paved the way  for a potential move by revealing his desire to play in a foreign league.

He told Radio Caracol: 'The chance of playing in another league and for another club will come. I keep dreaming. I know that in time I would like to go to a different team. But I have three more years left on my contract with Atletico.

'There are dreams that I have met and others that I am achieving now. I dream of reaching the World Cup with Colombia, and also to keep winning with my club.

'In my head I have these objectives, they are very clear. I can't think after these objectives.

Fernando Torres

Struggle: Chelsea's Fernando Torres

'The reason I don't play in the Europa League is because of a technical decision by [Atletico boss Diego] Simeone, not because I'm leaving in January. It's just a precaution. I am not friends with Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi. But when I see them on the field, I exchange words with the two.

'The dream is always there. The Premier League is an interesting league but I have a few years left on my contract with Atletico and I'm just focusing on Atletico."

Chelsea have been urged to ditch flop Torres and replace him with Falcao, by former Blues boss Ruud Gullit.

He said: 'If he can't still do it at Chelsea, then they are going to have to look somewhere else. I think Falcao is a very good striker.

'I said at the beginning of the season that Chelsea might need another striker but obviously they wanted to give Torres a chance. If he has taken it, I don't know.'

Better to play every game at Chelsea in London than sit games out in the rain in a dreary, wet Manchester!

Looking at the top rated comments, i don't think people here realise he's the best striker in the world. Why would CIty want him?... cos of that reason. Is it ridiculous?... sure, but they've surpassed the threshold of being a joke of a club so nothing is a surprise anymore.

- ben.crabtree7, London, 14/11/2012 16:46 The loss will be catastrophic? haha. You are talking about replacing a great striker (Dzeko) with the best striker in the world. Dzeko is City's top scorer? Falcao is the top scorer in europe's top league (forgetting Messi and Ron obv). Italian clubs would employ Mario back, and even if they didn't City wouldn't struggle to sell Dzeko, so what they paid for him '18 months ago' is irrelevant.

If falcao wants Spanish stuff, he would stay in spain.city is just not playing the kind of football people want to watch.Chelsea is.They only need strikers to correct the blunders and misses torres,s institutionalized at chelsea.so if he is moving for footballing reason, chelsea is the ideal destination.

DM please give this Falcao story a rest. The next transfer window is more than six weeks away so let's wait and see. In my opinion if Falcao does move he would be moving to Chelsea. I personally believe that the deal to bring him to Chelsea is all bu sealed.

With the Spanish connection at City now it would be more attractive, plus Manchester is a much nicer City. - Little Blue Chick, At Home, 14/11/2012 13:47 Falcao isn't Spanish. - ben.crabtree7 , London, 14/11/2012 16:01_____________ I didnt say he was. last time I heard people from Columbia speak spanish, hence the spanish connection. Tevez, Aguero, Zabaleta, Garcia, Silva, Suarez, Ferran Soriano, Txiki Begiristain. No language barrier and plenty of friends, and the best City in the UK. Well Australians speak English, doesn't mean Rooney would play in that league.

Hes dreaming of a move..to Anfield! Or not, but I'd take back Torres at a knockdown price if you don't want him anymore.
