"His dream is to one day play for Real Madrid," Radamel Garcia told Colombian radio program El Gran Debate de Todelar."
"Always, since childhood, he has wanted to play there."
Garcia also admitted that were a move to to Los Blancos fail to come to fruition, the Premier League would be his son's next choice.
"Other international football teams like Manchester City and Chelsea have been interested in him. If he cannot go to Madrid, then he would go to English football," said Garcia.
Falcao's father then went on to say that he did not believe his son would remain at Atletico in the long term.
"Above all, he wants to go to Madrid. He will change his team at the end of the season," said Garcia, adding that he had not even known whether his son would be sold or not prior to Atletico's Super Cup victory over Chelsea.
