Bacca on Barcelona radar

Barcelona have turned their attention to Carlos Bacca with a deal for other targets looking unlikely. The Colombian wants to play Champions League football next season.



Premier League side West Ham United have already settled on a £28m sum with AC Milan, and it remains for the player to decide on his next move.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish champions are mulling over an approach for Bacca as a deal for Kevin Gameiro looks far from done.

Barca were willing to recruit Sevilla's Gameiro as back-up to the first-team, but their plans have been dashed after Atletico Madrid proposed a straight swap with Luciano Vietto going the other way.

Bacca impressed in his debut season at Milan netting 18 goals in 38 league outings. He was recently part of the Colombian setup that came third at the centenary edition of the Copa America.
