Radamel Falcao’s agent Jorge Mendes will meet the Monaco hierarchy in the next 48 hours and ask for a loan move to Juventus for his client.
Mendes, who is on the verge of completing another high profile move, for Angel di Maria to Manchester United, will turn his attention towards Falcao next.
Falcao’s future at the Ligue 1 side has been a source of constant speculation although the Colombian insisted earlier this summer that he will stay at Monaco.
AC Milan are keen to sign him as a replacement for Mario Balotelli, but it is their Italian rivals Juventus who are believed to be the leading the race to sign the 28-year-old.
The Bianconeri lack the financial muscle to purchase the Colombian therefore they are eyeing a loan deal for Falcao.
