Real are one of the clubs who have been very strongly linked with the Colombian striker – currently regarded as one of the top players in world football.
Jose Mourinho said the move is a forbidden subject as Falcao is a key player for Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid, as was Sergio Aguero, and there is a kind of non-aggression pact between Atletico and Madrid.
The news is likely to be a boost to Mourinho’s former club Chelsea, who have been strongly linked with a January move for Falcao.
One player who will not be moving in January is Fabio Coentrao – he blasted: “I miss the times that lying and inventing in the newspapers was almost a crime. Now this does not happen, we are in a situation where it is very easy to lie and invent. It says what you want.”
But Mourinho did admit that his recent dropping of Coentrao has become a bit of an issue.
“We cannot escape that the reality of the Fabio Coentrao situation is not easy, but Fabio should be able to overcome a situation that I recognise is not easy for him – but there is no possibility he could leave in January – not long ago he cost €30million.”
He also spoke about Ricardo Carvalho’s situation at the club and he insists he is happy that he wants to stay – after a move to Queens Park Rangers in August failed to materialise.
“I thought he wanted out of Madrid, he is a tremendous player – especially for me, as I have had him at three clubs,” he said.
“With his injury last season and with Pepe and Ramos forming a partnership which can be the best in the world, he got a little delayed.
“But he decided to stay in Madrid, for me it is not a problem, he could be a solution but he knows his chances could be restricted.”
He also dispelled rumours that he looked at signing another of his former Chelsea players Jose Bosingwa in the summer.
“No, I did not think about it. You have to be good to bring the Portuguese and Portuguese to Madrid, would be mean to them.”
