Atletico Madrid left this summer's expected blockbuster transfer in Radamel Falcao's hands on Tuesday when they admitted the prolific striker was free to leave and decide his own future.
.
Chief executive Miguel Angel Gil-Marin said he didn't know if Falcao would still be at the club after his 28 La Liga goals this season reportedly attracted multi- million dollar offers from some of Europe's top clubs.
.
"Next season? I don't know, it depends on the player," Gil-Marin told reporters in Singapore. "If the player decides to go, Atletico will help him. Or if he prefers to be with us, for us it's perfect."
.
Chelsea, Monaco, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Manchester City –who are preparing a record £54 million deal, according to British press – have all been linked to the long-haired Colombian.
.
Falcao did little more than give a thumbs-up to waiting media as he arrived for a football clinic with schoolchildren at Singapore's Jalan Besar Stadium, where Atletico will play a friendly on Wednesday.
.
But last week, the 27-year-old laughed off intense speculation he was about to sign for Monaco.
.
"If you believe what is being reported, I have already signed for half the clubs in Europe: Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid," Falcao said.
.
"Last year, before the (Europa League) final in Bucharest (against Athletic Bilbao), people said I was going to leave and that the club didn't have the budget to keep me.
.
"All I can say is that I have a contract with Atletico and everything else is speculation."
.
Atletico arrived in Singapore fresh from last week's Spanish Cup victory over arch-rivals Real, in which Falcao set up his team's first goal.
Trust English teams to rush for him. But I feel he would prefer to be coached by Mourinho so he might move over to Chelsea.
