Carlos Bacca has rejected the opportunity to travel to London in order to discuss a move to West Ham, according to Italian newspaperCorriere della Sera.
West Ham are avidly searching the market for attacking reinforcements to strengthen both their European and league positions, and have been linked with a move for Carlos Bacca for numerous weeks now.
Slaven Bilic's side have plenty money in the bank to spend and have reportedly set aside a huge £30m to attract a top striker to the club, which also happens to be what AC Milan value theColombian striker at. However, Bacca does not want to sign for the East London club.
According to the newspaper, the Colombian refused to board a plane to London when prompted by Milan. The29-year-old may not have any future at AC Milan, as they look to cash in on Bacca in exchange for Besiktas midfielder Jose Sosa, but he has made it clear he does not wish to leave to West Ham.
Now, Milanofficials will meet on Monday at the San Siro to discuss the next step in the Bacca saga, with claims that Bacca is unhappy with the money West Ham are offering. For a former fisherman, you would not expect his wage expectations to be too over the top!
As for West Ham, Bilic said on Thursday he is keen to add one more player to the already four new arrivals:We will hopefully have a minimum of five players added to the squad before the start of the Premier League.�
The search continues for West Ham.
