West Ham have expressed interest in AC Milan and Colombia striker Carlos Bacca, according to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail.
The Hammers are interested in bringing the former Sevilla forward to the Olympic Stadium ahead of the new season, and it isn’t the first time that the East London side have been interested in the 29-year-old.
Bacca, who netted on 20 occasions in 42 appearances last season, has a reported release clause of £25.4m, but Serie A side Milan understand that the value may be too high, and are willing to lower their asking price.
West Ham aren’t the only party said to be involved in Bacca’s services, with Atletico Madrid keeping their eye on the forward, as it seems as though the Spanish side have lost out on taking Chelsea forward Diego Costa back to the Vincente Calderon.
With Bacca a potential incoming, should a deal be completed, it would lead the way for current Hammer, Enner Valencia, to depart the Premier League side, with Italian outfit Lazio said to be interested.
However, David Gold and co. are said to only be interested in letting Valencia depart the club, should the club receive £12m for him.
