Falcao Confirms Move to Real Madrid on Twitter, Then Immediately Deletes Tweet

Radamel Falcao appears to have let the cat out of the bag that he is off to Real Madrid.

The Monaco striker was left out of the team's squad for their Ligue 1 game against Lille on short notice. 

He then tweeted from his official account that it was a "dream come true", with Real's iconic "Hala Madrid" chant.

He removed the tweet soon after, but not before it spread like wildfire on the internet. 

"

People asking me if I saw the Falcao tweet earlier: Yes I did & I RT'd it while it was available. It was his verified account.

The move would be another huge summer signing for the Galacticos if confirmed by Monday's transfer deadline.

Later in the evening Falcao denied posting the tweet and claimed it was a Photoshop:  

"

Tengo que desmentir una noticia sobre un tweet que no he hecho y que es un foto montaje.

— Radamel Falcao (@FALCAO) August 30, 2014"

But once again, Twitter was convinced that the first post had indeed come from his account:

"

If that @FALCAO tweet was faked why did it show up briefly (below his denial) when I just called up his timeline pic.twitter.com/nScJJp1Ytp
