Radamel Falcao returns to Millonarios for his “last dance” | OneFootball

The experienced forward Radamel Falcao García will play again for Millonarios, from Bogotá, six months after leaving his beloved club without fulfilling his dream of becoming Colombian champion, the team announced this Wednesday.

The Tiger, who turns 40 in February, joined Millonarios in mid-2024 and left in July after failed negotiations to renew his contract. Since then, he had been without a club. The international press even speculated that the former Atlético de Madrid and Manchester United striker was negotiating with teams from Argentina and the United States, but he chose to return to the team he supports.

Announcement on social media

“They are back”, posted Millonarios on the social network X, accompanied by a video with moments of the historic Colombian national team scorer and the hashtag #UnÚltimoBaile. The day before, local journalists had already pointed to the possibility of his return after the club, one of the most traditional in Colombia, posted the phrase “The Last Dance” on social media — an expression popularized in the NBA in the 1990s, referring to coach Phil Jackson’s last victorious season with Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. In football, it means a player’s last shot before retirement.

Remarkable career

Falcao had never played for a Colombian first division team before joining Millonarios in 2024. He made his professional debut for River Plate, in Argentina, in 2005, and went on to play for Porto, Atlético de Madrid, Monaco, Chelsea, among others.

Considered one of the best strikers of his generation, Falcao will join a squad that will compete in March in the first qualifying phase of the Copa Sudamericana.
