Today’s Spanish papers report that Barcelona are interested in signing AC Milan wantaway striker Carlos Bacca.
In additions to this, sources have exclusively told calciomercato.com that the blaugrana’s interest for the former Sevilla man is concrete though the Rossoneri have yet to receive a formal offer that, however, could be formalized before the end of the week.
Bacca has put negotiations with West Ham on hold. AC Milan have accepted the Hammers’ € 30 million bid, but the striker has yet to say yes to the East London club despite Bilic has matched the player’s salary requests.
Why? Bacca wants to play Champions League football next season and is waiting for the offer of a club that play Europe’s elite tournament next season.
Napoli could make a bid if they’d fail to sign Mauro Icardi, but, meantime, Barcelona have entered the race.
