Radamel Falcao says he is solely focused on the Copa America despite being in talks with Chelsea, according to Sky sources.

The Blues are one of several clubs the Colombia international is speaking to as he bids to get his career back on track after a poor season on loan at Manchester United where he scored four goals in 29 apps in all competitions.

The 29-year-old returned to his parent club Monaco at the end of the Premier League season after United opted against making his loan move permanent, for a fee which was believed to be £44m.

Falcao is not expected to stay at Monaco and Chelsea have been tipped to offer him a route back to the Premier League as a replacement for Didier Drogba.

However, the former Atletico Madrid striker refused to give anything away when asked about his future, insisting he is focused on Colombia’s bid for glory at the Copa America which starts on June 11.

He told AS: “Is my future at Monaco? Right now I’m thinking only about the Copa, there has been a lot of talk but I am relaxed about it. My agent is the one who takes care of all of that.”
