# Hammers one step closer to signing Carlos Bacca

According to the highly-respected Italian journalist [Gianluca Di Marzio](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/milan-incontro-tra-bacca-e-il-west-ham-non-ce-laccordo-sullingaggio/), West Ham have agreed a deal with Serie A side AC Milan for Colombian striker, Carlos Bacca.

Today, there was a meeting between Bacca’s representatives and West Ham United.

Bacca is currently asking for a wage of €4m per year (£65,000-a-week), whilst the club from the Olympic Stadium are currently offering €3.5m (57,000-a-week), with a deal between the two parties failing to be struck – for now, but talks with recommence tomorrow and a deal is expected to be met.

It was only two days ago that [Read West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2016/07/10/e27m-carlos-bacca-deal-edges-closer/) brought you the news that the deal to bring Bacca to East London was a step closer, with yesterday’s proceedings not stopping any potential transfer in its tracks.

The deal to take the Milan forward to the Premier League is said to be worth a reported €27m, with an additional €3m in bonuses based on his performances.

The 29-year-old is said to be prepared to turn down offers from Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid in order to play his trade in the Premier League.
