Monaco reject £45m bid for Premier League flop Radamel Falcao from Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian
Chinese side also launched a failed bid for Chelsea's Diego Costa in January
MONACO have rejected a stunning £45million offer from Tianjin Quanjian for Radamel Falcao.
The eye-watering bid comes just days after the Chinese Super League side launched a failed bid for Chelsea’s Diego Costa.
As clubs in China continue to splash huge amounts of cash in an attempt to lure football’s biggest names to their league, the offer for Falcao underlines the staggering amounts of money clubs are prepared to pay.

And according Monaco’s vice-president Vadim Vasilyev, he has hinted that he would be willing to sell the Colombian if Tianjin Quanjian improve their offer.
Speaking to Canal+, he said: “I have to think like a leader. Obviously I want to win titles and trophies, but there are special situations. There are very few clubs in the world that can refuse any offer.”
Falcao, who has 12 league goals in just ten starts this season, flopped miserably in the Premier League.
He scored just four league goals for Manchester United in 26 appearances before enduring a dismal spell at rivals Chelsea.
The 30-year-old rejected the chance to move to China whilst playing at Stamford Bridge in order to fight for his spot in the first-team.
Tianjin Quanjian are believed to be willing to pay £80m to land Chelsea’s Costa with astonishing wages of £500,000-a-week.
The club recently signed Belgium international Axel Witsel after agreeing to pay the midfielder £300,000-a-week.
