Falcao plays down Barca talk

Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao has played down speculation linking him with a summer move to Barcelona.

Reports in Spain claimed the Colombian international, who scored 36 goals in all competitions for Europa League champions Atletico Madrid after joining from Porto 12 months ago, was being targeted by the Catalan giants. However Falcao insists he has heard nothing about a deal and is just focused on playing for his country in an upcoming international game. "The truth is that I do not give any importance to what is being said," he told reporters. "I do not know about those reports and I have not seen, heard or read anything. "I am only thinking about the match against Ecuador. "My agent has been very prudent by not talking about that issue with me, and letting me stay focused for these international fixtures. "I do not think this is the right time to talk about that. After Monday, we will see."
