A Colombian professional footballer Radamel Falcao Garcia Zarate (born 10 February 1986,) plays forward for Rayo Vallecano in La Liga and often serves as captain of the Colombia national team. One of the greatest Colombian footballers of all time, he is known as El Tigre (Spanish for The Tiger). His professional career began at the age of 13 with Lanceros Boyacá, before he transferred to River Plate, where he played with their youth academy from 2001 to 2005 and won the 2007–2008 Clausura tournament. Upon joining Porto in 2009, he won several trophies, including the UEFA Europa League and Primeira Liga double in 2011.

Atlético Madrid acquired Falcao for a club record of €40 million in August 2011. He played an integral role in the club’s 2012 Europa League and Super Cup victories. In 2011–12 and 2012–13, Falcao was the third-highest goalscorer in La Liga behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. In spite of interest from top European clubs, Falcao controversially signed for newly promoted Ligue 1 side Monaco in 2013 for a club record €60 million. He spent the remainder of his debut season on loan at Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea following an ACL injury that forced him to miss six months of play.

He led Monaco to their first Ligue 1 title in 17 years after rejoining them in the summer of 2016. Falcao joined Galatasaray in 2019, before returning to La Liga with Rayo Vallecano in 2021. Since he broke the previous record of 25 goals in June 2017, Falcao has won over 100 caps and scored 35 goals for Colombia, making him their all-time top scorer. In 2011, 2015, and 2019, he represented his country. Falcao missed the 2014 World Cup because of injury, but he made his World Cup debut in 2018.

In 2011, Falcao scored 17 goals in a European campaign, set the record for most goals in an international club competition, and won the Europa League with two teams (Porto in 2011 and Atlético in 2012). He’s Monaco’s highest goal scorer ever (83). In 2012, he made the FIFA FIFPro World XI, finished fifth in the 2012 FIFA Ballon d’Or, and won the Globe Soccer Best Footballer award.

Early Life And Family Background

‘The Tiger’ is the nickname given to a legendary football poacher by Woodgram, who presents the full story of his life.

With Radamel Falcao Biography Facts, we provide you with a complete account of notable events from his childhood to the present. Falcao’s biography examines his life before fame, his family life, and many OFF and ON-Pitch little-known facts.

Everyone is aware of his ability to score goals. Nevertheless, few soccer fans have read the concise biography of Radamel Falcao, which is quite interesting. Let’s begin now, without further ado.

Radamel Falcao Childhood Life And Family Background

The football legend, Radamel Falcao Garcia Zarate, was born in Santa Marta, Colombia on the 10th of February 1986.

He was born to Radamel Garcia, a former footballer, and Carmenza Zárate, a housekeeper.

Upon his birth, his father named him Falcao in honor of the ex-Brazilian midfielder Paulo Alberto Falcao. His family does not include him.

In ideal circumstances, no member of his family has ever used the name Falcao. Although he could only crawl when he was a child, he watched his dad play football and requested the same size football to be placed at his feet.

His tenacity earned him the nickname “El Tigre” (“The Tiger”) from teammates at Club Atlético River Plate in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As can be seen here, he has grown into a handsome boy with a fine open tooth.

After moving to Club Atlético River Plate in Argentina, he moved to FC Porto in Portugal and Atlético Madrid in Spain, where they finished fifth in the 2012 Ballon d’Or voting.

In Columbia, the Radamel Falcao Family is well-known for its football males and devoted mother.

About Radamel Falcao Mother

In any case, if we add the fact that Carmenza Zárate is the mother of Radamel Falcao to the name, many will be shocked.

Although she was the wife of a footballer who traveled the world and didn’t settle in one place, she knew how to guide him.

As a footballer, I was willing to help him form, grow, mature, and let him take his own path with free will.

When he was a child, she taught him about Jesus through bedtime stories. The person who always supported Falcao in soccer and in his search for God was his mother.

Radamel Falcao and his mother remain inseparable to this day. Having understood his vocation from an early age, she dedicated her life to accompanying, supporting, and inspiring him.

When her son was criticized in England, the mother of the Colombian striker spoke publicly to put an end to all the rumors.

Carmenza Zárate writes, “The world of football has witnessed Radamel Falcao Garcia’s reign.”

It has been criticized by some and supported by others. It is my pleasure to tell you all that my son will return to his best level as soon as possible. His strength and abilities are in my hands.”

Upon rejoining Monaco, her son returned to his goal-scoring ways.

Lastly, Falcao’s mother graduated from the prestigious National University of Colombia with a degree in Economics.

Someday, she dreams of becoming Minister of Finance for the country. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Raheem Sterling also received motherly support from Radamel Falcao.

The Death Threats

Some Colombian fans lit candles, while others sent death threats to Monts d’Or Azergues defender Soner Ertek, despite publicly apologizing to Falcao via Twitter.

Soner Ertek is the defender who injured Falcao and prevented him from participating in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. On Saturday, Radamel Falcao sent a message on Twitter to Ertek prior to undergoing surgery on his injured cruciate ligaments.

Life Journey

In our Arnaut Danjuma Biography, you will learn about his Childhood Story, Early Life, Parents (Hauwa and Cees), Education, Family, Lifestyle, girlfriend, Net Worth, and Personal Life.

We present you with the story of the winger’s life journey, starting from when he was young to when he rose to fame. To whet your appetite for his autobiography, take a look at this boyhood to adulthood gallery – a perfect summing up of Arnaut Danjuma’s biography.

Yes, everyone knows how he made it from being a homeless kid to becoming a Champion of the World. Although, only a few people have read about his life-transforming story, which is quite a remarkable story. So without further ado, let me begin.

Arnie is the nickname given to the winger at the beginning of his engaging memoir. Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld was born on the 31st day of January 1997 in Lagos, Nigeria, as the son of a Dutch father, Cees, and a Nigerian mother, Hauwa.

In fact, he is the third child to be born in the union between his parents. When our son was four years old his father and mother went through a divorce. Because of this, his childhood became unbearable, filled with pain and suffering.

It lasted for a short period of time, but Danjuma and his mother, as well as his siblings, were homeless after the divorce.

His mother had a difficult time getting a decent job so she could take care of her son’s needs. As a result, he spent a great deal of his childhood in foster care.

In spite of his parent’s separation, the athlete still enjoyed some form of paternal privileges from his father.

Growing up, Danjuma spent a lot of time with his elder brother, Reinier, and his sister, Lisette. Both of them were his closest companions in his early years. As a way of getting away from the painful childhood experiences of his family, he took solace in playing football.

He felt that this was his biggest consolation and kept him from thinking too much about the sad situation that unfolded in his home.

Following the separation of his parents, his household was afflicted with a distressing financial crisis for a short period of time. In spite of the fact that his father had gone his separate way, his mother had a difficult time getting a job after he left.

Danjuma’s family fared well before things went haywire, of course, but afterward, things went awry for them. Both the winger and his siblings were forced to sleep in the car or even stay at their friends’ house when their finances started to deteriorate.

In spite of the fact that his family took a short while to find balance, the speedster only managed to leave his foster home when he clocked 11 seconds. From that time onward, he lived like every other kid growing up in a middle-class family.

The winger has been blessed with dual citizenship as a result of his parents being of different ethnicities. Due to the fact that his mother and father were citizens of Nigeria and the Netherlands, respectively, Danjuma is eligible to play for either the Netherlands or Nigeria as his country of preference.

It is evident from his complexion that he has inherited the skin color of his maternal ancestry. Indeed, the appearance of this gentleman alone gives a clear indication of the fact that he has African heritage.

There is no doubt that you did not know that Danjuma’s maternal country of origin (Nigeria) is the most populous country in Africa. On his paternal side of the family, he has Dutch ancestry. It was thanks to his father that the young lad was able to play for the Netherlands national team.

One of the best things about his parents is that they never allowed their differences to negatively impact their children’s success. Throughout Danjuma’s life, his parents ensured that both he and his elder siblings received a good education.

As a child, the football icon was raised in a foster home. It is interesting to note that his father always dropped him off at school while it was closing time and picked him up at the end of the day. In Danjuma’s case, he used to go to the field to train with other kids after school.

As stated earlier, soccer is the only way that the winger can escape from this kind of misery and trouble. This is the reason why he began playing the game at the tender age of four. The young man was passionate about every aspect of the game, and he wished to succeed in it as the future unfolded.

He did not have to wait long before he joined the youth set-up at FC Oss. The football academy was located in the city where his father lived, which was a great relief to him.

In most cases, his father will pick him up after school and drop him off at the sports institute for training. A court ruled in 2008 that the player could be allowed to leave foster care and stay with his father. The same year, to his great luck, he also joined the youth program of PSV Eindhoven as well.

In order to keep up with other students at the academy, Danjuma had to devote a great deal of dedication and hard work. In reminiscing about his early career, here’s what the winger had to say about his experience.

Initially, everything was good when I first joined PSV. However, as I grew up, it became much more difficult to see myself securing a place there. At 16, they are more likely to give contracts to players they believe in. However, they did not offer me anything back then.”

His time at PSV was when he came to the conclusion that football was unjust. Furthermore, Danjuma found it even more disheartening to learn that his club did not offer him any deal when he reached the age of 16.

Despite spending eight years with PSV, the talented speedster only appeared in one professional game for the club. Throughout his Life Story, it became apparent that football was not always about talent. There were also some political strings attached as well.

As a result of the unfair treatment Danjuma has received at PSV, he signed a contract for a free transfer to NEC in 2016. It didn’t take him up to 5 months before he was promoted to the first team.

On the field of play, he recorded a series of mind-blowing moments during his time at NEC. With his great attacking instinct, he was able to keep many defenders at bay. Several scouts and managers were left in awe over what they saw. After witnessing his unfathomable talent, many clubs came running to sign him after witnessing his unfathomable prowess. The player ended up signing with Club Brugge in 2018.

The privilege of joining the Belgian club was something he never expected to experience. As a 21-year-old, Danjuma made his Champions League debut against Atletico Madrid. In spite of competing against world-class players like Saul Niguez, he managed to score a goal that displayed his attacking flair. As a result, he won the Belgian Super Cup in 2018 with Club Brugge.

As he lifted the trophy with his Belgian club, he was filled with an endless amount of joy and happiness. It is no wonder why Ronald Koeman sought to include him in the arsenal of the Dutch national side after he has proven his worth as a brilliant winger. In the eight years since I wrote this biography, Danjuma has proudly represented his country in a number of competitive matches.

It was in 2019 when he signed a long-term contract with AFC Bournemouth, which was worth £13.7 million. His performance with the club was outstanding and earned him many accolades in the process. As a result, he even won the Bournemouth Player of the Year award in 2021.

Even when he was playing in the championships, he won many awards. Danjuma’s flair for attacking and ability to create opportunities for scoring goals makes him a key player on the team. The player signed a contract with Villarreal in August 2021, which reportedly was worth €25 million.

When he joined the Yellow Submarines, he began to enjoy a solid forward partnership with the players of the club. Examples of this include Gerard Moreno (Spanish) and Boulaye Dia (Senegal), as well as Samuel Chukwueze (Nigerian).

Danjuma came off the bench to help Villarreal secure a draw against Atletico Madrid by scoring their second goal as a debutant for the club. That was how the rest of the story went.

It is without a doubt that he has a handsome look that attracts the majority of his female fans regardless of any controversy. It is true that most of them wish that Danjuma would look at them with the intention of starting a romantic relationship with them.

The winger, however, has no intention of getting involved in any love affairs at the moment. Those who qualify to become a potential wife or girlfriend will have to wait a little bit longer than those who don’t.

Danjuma, like Myron Boadu, has a preference to focus on his career over anything else in his life. As of the time of writing, he does not have a girlfriend and there is no indication that he will get into a relationship in the year 2021.

As he is similar to Joshua Zirkzee, a person who enjoys spending some time by himself, he likes to spend some time alone as well. Besides his gentle character, you can see the aura of his humble nature etched all over his face as well.

There were occasions when Danjuma would put on his earpiece so that he could enjoy some peaceful music by himself. I have no doubt that he has inherited the characteristics of the zodiac sign Aquarius, and I am convinced that this has been the case all along.

He is smiling because he is enjoying the melody of the song that he is listening to. He loves to go swimming and it is one of his favorite hobbies. He often goes swimming in order to relieve himself of the stress that accompanies his training sessions.

In spite of the fact that he enjoys watching basketball, Danjuma has only posted a picture of his basketball idol (Michael Jordan) once on his Instagram page.

When he goes swimming, he cannot help but laugh with the folks around him. Football has helped to give dribblers a high standard of living thanks to its exuberance. Danjuma’s life has turned around for the better even though he had been through so much hardship in his childhood.

Since he makes an enormous salary, he usually takes a vacation to Dubai every year, where he cruises different jet boats to his heart’s content. While he was on his vacation to Dubai, he ended up cruising boats.

Nathan Ake, the speedster, is also known for his love of luxurious rides. He owns different brands of expensive jeeps as well as a beautiful mansion in the countryside.

As a result of his sporting endeavors, he has been able to buy different brands of cars. It is an impressive sight to see Danjuma standing beside his horse as he poses for the camera.

The experience of growing up in a household with quite a tragic past is indeed one that is not so easy. As a result of the cooperation of all members of Danjuma’s family, Danjuma, together with his siblings and his mother, was able to endure the aftermath of the divorce.

I know you are curious about what became of each and every member of his family after his death. In this section, we will provide you with some information about Danjuma’s family.

Dan Pena Net Worth, Early Life, Career, & Personal Life

As a result of Cees’ support, the Dutch winger has been able to pursue a career in soccer. Despite his separation from Danjuma’s mother, Mr. Cees continued to fulfill his paternal duties even after that.

Oftentimes, he takes his son to school and returns him home after school. In addition to this, he was also responsible for taking Danjuma to the pitch during training sessions.

The player has stated that despite their divorce, his father and mother still maintain a positive relationship with each other. When his son performs his duty on the field, Mr. Cees always ensures that he observes his son’s game every time he steps out onto the field.

After her divorce, the athlete’s mother was the one who suffered the most. It is called Hauwa, and she put a lot of effort into helping her children survive when the situation was so bad. Occasionally, Hauwa and her children would sleep in the car when they did not have a place to stay.

As previously stated, the player’s mother is a Nigerian, and she has always made every effort to support him in the best way she can. As a result of Danjuma’s success in football, he was able to buy a house for his mother and sisters.

During the course of his rise to fame, the athlete has mentioned only two of his siblings. They are his brother, Reinier, and his sister, Lisette. In fact, even his siblings were placed with a foster family after their parents divorced.

During the time that I was compiling this biography, Danjuma’s brother obtained his Master’s degree from Imperial College London. His sister also studied and graduated from Imperial College London.

In the Sallah period, he is often reunited with his siblings to take part in the celebrations with them. It is true that Danjuma shares an inseparable bond with his sister.

On the subject of his extended family, no information has been available regarding his grandfather and grandmother. On the other hand, records about Danjuma’s uncles and aunts cannot be found on the internet either.
