Carlos Bacca news

West Ham target Bacca is attracting interest from "big clubs"

Carlos Bacca's agent has insisted that his client is attracting plenty of interest this summer, as rumours persist of a summer switch for the Colombian striker.

Bacca joined AC Milan from Sevilla last summer, and produced an impressive return of 18 Serie A goals from 38 appearances in his first season at the San Siro.

But despite a positive maiden campaign in Italy, it seems increasingly likely that Bacca will be moving on during the upcoming transfer window.

Speaking to Calciomercato, Bacca's agent Sergio Barila insisted that his client will receive offers from "big clubs".

"Now we must wait for Milan’s decision." Barila said.

"There are several big European clubs interested in Carlos."

Milan forked out around €30 million for Bacca last year, and it is thought that the Rossoneri will be looking to recoup most of that fee if they sell the 29-year-old in the coming months.

The 33-cap Colombia international is believed to be attracting serious interest from West Ham United, with the Premier League club desperate to sign a marquee striker as they prepare to move to their new Olympic Stadium home next season.

However, the likes of Marseille's Michy Batshuayi and Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette are said to be higher on their wish-list than Bacca.

Atlético Madrid, Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich have all been linked with a possible swoop for the former Club Brugge player too.
