The Colombian took to social network to
rubbish reports that emerged from his
homeland on Tuesday which say he is two
years older than what his Fifa registration
states
Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has vehemently denied
reports he lied about his age, with various media outlets
claiming the striker was born in 1984 rather than 1986.
The Colombia international, who completed a move to
Stade Louis II this summer for a reported €60 million in
June, is accused of falsifying his date of birth following
the release of his school records which suggest the
forward is actually 29 years old.
According to the striker's Fifa registration Falcao was
born on February 10, 1986 but Colombian TV station
Noticias Uno claim the star was actually born two years
earlier.
However, the former Atletico Madrid hitman has taken
to Twitter to rubbish the rumours, which he describes
as "totally ridiculous".
He wrote: "I have been surprised with the news
surrounding my age recently, and the claims are totally
ridiculous."
"I want to categorically deny these claims and put this
issue to bed once and for all."
Falcao earned his big-money move to the Principality
this summer after netting 70 times in 90 appearances
for Atleti throughout his two-year stay in the Spanish
capital.
