Atletico ready to let Falcao go?

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has said that they can compete without Falcao in today's Copa del Rey encounter, according to goal.com.

Simeone told AS "This is one of the few moments in the year that we can rest Falcao and we believe that in that case we can still compete well."

Shortly after this statement you could hear the cogs furiously whirring in managers and chairman's minds around the world.  Does this mean they will be willing to let him go?  Will he be gracing the back of nets up and down England soon?  Get your chequebooks at the ready gentlemen.
