September 20th News: 39-year-old Colombian striker Falcao participated in the program and talked about the story of Real Madrid chairman Florentino recruiting him while playing for Atletico.
Falcao said that when he played for Atletico from 2011 to 2013, at a party, Casillas and many Atletico media reporters were present. Florentino handed him a napkin, imitating the move of signing Zidane that year: "He asked me to put away the napkin and keep it. I was very embarrassed at the time because I was surrounded by Atletico."
Falcao also confirmed that Real Madrid had contacted himself through his agent, and even received calls from Real Madrid's management to negotiate transfer matters. But that summer, Real Madrid finally signed Gareth Bale with a transfer fee that broke the football record.
