Carlos Bacca could be headed to West Ham as the word is that Milan are ready to sell him but want a higher price.
Milan had their worst year since 2001/02 in terms of goals this season but Carlos Bacca still managed to get 20 goals.
The Colombian striker joined the club in the summer from Sevilla after the Rossoneri paid his buy-out clause of €30 million and said from the start that his mission is to bring Milan back to the Champions League. However, his own efforts weren’t enough this year since Milan finished 7th in Serie A and without Europe, after losing the Coppa Italia final to Juventus a bit over two weeks ago.
As reported by Sky Italia’s respected mercato expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Premier League’s West Ham have made a €20 million bid for the 29-year-old. Di Marzio claims that Milan are willing to sell Bacca and talk with The Hammers but their asking price has reportedly been set to €25 million.
Di Marzio writes that Bacca is open to the move but only if West Ham can ensure him that he’ll get the same salary as he does at Milan now – about €4 million after taxes per year.
