Monaco striker Radamel Falcao has revealed that he had turned down three huge offers from the Chinese Super League in the ongoing winter transfer window.

The 30-year-old Colombia international is currently back to playing in his top form for the French outfit after two unproductive loan spells with Manchester United and Chelsea, where he scored a combined five goal in two seasons because of a knee injury.

This season at Ligue 1, Falcao has so far netted 18 goals in 22 appearances in all competitions for Monaco, which has reportedly attracted the attention of China top-flight clubs, who are still on the lookout to lure the world's best goalscorers to their side by offering them huge and incredible wages, according to The Sun.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa was offered a deal by Tianjin Quanjian earlier this month while Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is said to be tempted to join former teammate Carlos Tevez at Shanghai Shenhua.

However, Falcao asserted that he is keen on staying with the current French top-flight leaders, revealing that he had already turned down three big-money proposals from the Far East, as per 90min.

"I have said no three times, and it is difficult to reject these sort of offers," said Falcao in a press conference prior to Monaco's game against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.

Monaco is currently leading Ligue 1 as they are two points ahead of second-running squad Nice and three-points clear of PSG. Les Monégasques has the opportunity to dethrone four-straight league champions PSG with 17 rounds left in the season.

Falcao is one of the main reasons for Monaco's resurgence this season and he is said to be eager to complete what he has started.

"For the club, it is not easy either, they offered them a lot of money. But I want to win with Monaco and show that I have come back to 100%. That is my motivation," he said. Falcao has netted 12 Ligue 1 goals in 14 games this season.
