Falcao and Turan’s career have moved in opposite directions since the Colombian international left Atleti.
The experienced striker struggled to settle in at Monaco as well as Chelsea. Falcao has just one goal in 11 appearances for the Blues this season.
Turan has had a busy month as far as birthdays are concerned. First he had his own 29th to celebrate last week followed by Gerard Pique, Neymar and Galatasaray legend Hagi.
