ANKARA (AA) - Istanbul giant Galatasaray is close to signing Monaco star Radamel Falcao, according to the Turkish football club.

The club said on Twitter that it had started talks with 33-year-old Colombian striker Falcao and Monaco to sign the player.

In addition to French Ligue 1 team Monaco, Falcao played for Argentina's River Plate, Portuguese club Porto, Spanish team Atletico Madrid, and English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea.

Falcao won the UEFA Europa League titles with Porto (2011) and Atletico Madrid (2012).

In 2017 the Colombian international helped Monaco win the French top-tier Ligue 1 title, ending Paris Saint-Germain's four-season domination of the league.

Last season Falcao scored 16 goals in 39 appearances for Monaco.
