Turkish-Football reported that Albayrak and Galatasaray official Sukru Hanedar – in charge of foreign transfers – travelled to Monaco on Friday to hold talks with Falcao.

Negotiations have reached an advanced stage between Galatasaray and Monaco.

The Yellow-Reds also brought in agent Ahmet Bulut who has close ties to super agent Jorge Mendes – who represents Falcao – to broker a deal.

The reigning Super Lig champions hope to complete the transfer by Monday and bring Falcao to Istanbul.

Monday holds additional significance because it will be in the middle of the Eid festival.
