Radamel Falcao has told L'Equipe he hopes to extend his contract with Monaco, as he prepares for Wednesday's Champions League semifinal first leg with Juventus.
After a difficult two seasons in England, Falcao, 31, returned to Monaco last summer and has since flourished.
The Colombia international has found the back of the net 19 times in as many starts in Ligue 1 this term to help push the club to the brink of a first French title since 2000, while also netting crucial goals in the Champions League to take Monaco into the last four.
Falcao will have just a year left on his contract at the Stade Louis II come the end of the season, and though Monaco's policy is now to sign promising youngsters rather than established stars, as it was when he moved there from Atletico Madrid in 2013, the striker hopes to stay on.
"Of course I would like to," he replied when asked whether he wanted to extend his contract. "I feel really good here, my wife and daughters too, with the club and the city. We've adapted, we have a good social life and that enables my work to bear more fruit. I'm at peace here since the start of the season, and I hope to be able to continue living here."
