Billionaire brings in Colombian king
Falcao could be joining an already confirmed dream team of Carvalho, Moutinho and Rodriguez
AS Monaco is tomorrow expected to make official its long-awaited transfer with Radamel Falcao. The star striker is expected to go for a record breaking deal, while a large injection of money has already attracted an array of players from massive European teams, including FC Porto and Real Madrid.
Prince Albert II of Monaco and AS Monaco’s Russian owner, Dmitry Rybolovlev, will be attending an end of season ceremony this Friday 31st May. Surrounded by fans and sponsors, Rybolovlev is expected to officially announce Falcao’s transfer to the Principality’s team.
Monaco’s summer spending spree widened yet further with the new addition of Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho. The 35-year-old former Chelsea player will come to AS Monaco as part of a free transfer for one year, with the possibility of an extension.
“I’m very happy to join AS Monaco FC and take part in a new adventure,” said Monaco’s newest recruit, “it’s a fresh challenge to take on.”
The flight of Falcao…
Following a routine medical on Tuesday, the 27-year-old Colombian striker is thought to have gone over his contract with the help of his agent Jorge Mendes. He has since returned to Atlético Madrid, for one last game in the Spanish league against Zaragoza.
The football superstar could join forces with the Monegasque side for a massive deal of 60 million euros, smashing the French league record, making Falcao the most expensive player in League one, and reaching 4th position of most expensive transfers ever made (behind Ronaldo, Zidane and Kaka).
Speculation has suggested that the initial 60 million euros could be reduced to 45 million euros due to a liberty clause in the contract. This condition allows Falcao to negate his contract in the event of an offer from Real Madrid.
But with 10 million a year, Falcao will still be earning a substantial amount playing for the Red and Whites.
Where’s the money coming from?
Relegated from the first division just two years ago, AS Monaco has been fighting their way back ever since. Returned to League one following a successful 2012-13 season, the club is benefitting this Mercato season from a financial injection on the part of Russian owner Dmitry Rybolovlev.
As one of the richest men in the world, the Russian oligarch was ranked by Forbes 119th position in this year’s list of billionaires. He is estimated to be worth over seven billion euros.
The team just invested 70 million euros in a double transfer deal with FC Porto that brought James Rodriguez and Joao Moutinho to the Monegasque side. While French teams look on with worry, it remains to be seen whether the money will be enough to buy back the team's success.

Nice
Those are one of the reason as to why people needs our services.....
Mafia crackdown in Nice
Members of the Georgian and Armenian mafia have been arrested in Nice as part of a nationwide crackdown. The suspects are believed to be associated with the ex-Soviet Union.
A total of 40 suspects were arrested on Tuesday 4th June by the Police Judiciaire (PJ) in an operation targeted at different mafia groups operating throughout the country; 14 of them were arrested in Nice.
The operation took place in major cities in France, including Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, and Nice. The suspects are accused of a variety of crimes including burglary, credit card fraud, pickpocketing, shoplifting, counterfeiting, and acts of violence.
According to Nice Matin, among the 14 suspects arrested in Nice is the presumed head of the gang, a 38-year-old identified only as "Arthur". Police say the suspects, who are mainly of Georgian and Armenian origin, are believed to be part of a "very structured" group related to the ex-Soviet Union.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls described the operation as a success, and used the opportunity to encourage the police force to relentlessly pursue the fight against criminal networks from Eastern Europe.

Monaco GP, shot via Sony RX100.
Standing just outside the exit of the Paddock area, prior the race in 30 minutes. what an event, really enjoyed the sights and sounds of Monaco and the sound of the engine bouncing off the walls.

Team RedBull leaving, this was shot with a high shutter speed with my Sony RX100 which I do highly recommend as a capable small DSLR replacement camera that is a size of a box of Cigarettes.

A mixture of pictures start and at the end a up close and personal pic with the damaged marussia car.


On the way back after the GrandPrix spotted this beautiful Mclaren F1, this is the second time I see a F1 and the last time I got to see one was 14 years ago in their old showroom in London.


Quiet chilly that day so it was nice to jump in.
Like every high profile event, you tend to see some banging chicks and gold diggers. Nice point of view prior to go on boat a tender to the Yacht in Port Hercule.
