The Colombian striker is widely regarded as one of South America's hottest prospects and his performances for River Plate have not gone unnoticed in the old continent.
Benfica are now allegedly prepared to step up their interest in the player, who had been previously linked with a move to the likes of FC Porto and Arsenal, according to sports daily Record.
Falcao, 22, has emerged as Benfica's main alternative to Luis García in case the Eagles fail to land the Espanyol striker.
The Portuguese paper understands that Benfica Sporting Director, Rui Costa, will fly to Argentina to secure the services of Falcao if talks with Espanyol do not advance in the next few hours.
Benfica do not want to meet Espanyol's €12 million asking price and could sign the Colombia international for a fee in the region of €5 million.
