Radamel Falcao Chelsea & MLS Transfer Rumors: Columbus Crew Bid on Benched Forward?

Radamel Falcao has had a disappointing time as a footballer in the Barclays Premier League. Last season, he failed to make an impact at Manchester United on loan from AS Monaco, and after signing with defending champions Chelsea FC over the summer, has had a hard time getting into games. A new injury is costing him playing time as well, but his luck in the EPL is surely nonexistent. So, should he look elsewhere? According to new reports, the 29-year-old Colombian forward could see bids from Major League Soccer team Columbus Crew SC, but will Falcao move to the States?

We know that the MLS is an attractive career move for European footballers that are slightly past their primes and still want to play until retirement, so should we place Falcao, who was one of the best forwards in the world only a few years ago, in this boat, too?

He's played only 214 minutes for Chelsea with one goal under his belt, according to MLSSoccer.com. Falcao has previously played for River Plate, Porto, Atlético Madrid, and the teams mentioned above, but now Columbus could be added to the list.

Though he's still young, many believe he hasn't recovered from a torn ACL in 2014, which caused him to miss the World Cup. He's currently suffering from another injury on the Chelsea bench, according to The Metro.

If he makes the move, he'll most likely be a featured player. Other players that recently made the move to the MLS, including Didier Drogba of Chelsea fame, have made big impacts for their teams.

According to NBC Sports, Falcao is contracted to stay with Chelsea through the 2015/2016 season, so a summer move to Ohio could be in the works.
