According to a report from Italian news source Spazio Milan, Colombian international forward Carlos Bacca is stalling on a move to West Ham for the time being – so that he can see whether or not they progress in the Europa League.
The Hammers head back home to the Olympic Stadium at a disadvantage this evening as they seek to overturn a 2-1 deficit against Slovenian minnows Domzale after they were defeated by the underdogs last week.
However, the match itself has just gained some added importance if it was ever necessary because it now looks as though the potential signing of Bacca relies on West Ham progressing in the competition.
It now looks as though an ultimatum has been handed to the experienced striker, demanding that he makes a decision on his future by the end of the week.
Bacca is keen to play for a top European club that will offer him Champions League football for the coming season, however, the lure of West Ham could still tempt the 29-year-old to East London in the near future.
The Bacca saga is certainly dragging on for West Ham and all parties involved, but it looks as though his future will become far clearer in the coming days.
