AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca has spoken out about his future with the club, hinting that he could well stay there this season.
West Ham were believed to be closing in on the signing of the Colombian striker after having a £25.6m bid accepted by Milan earlier this month, but Bacca reveals he has offers from across Europe’s top leagues.
“I’m putting my trust in God. Everyone knows that I have a four-year deal with Milan, but it’s true that I’ve received offers from the Premier League, from Spain, from other Italian clubs, from France and Germany. My agent is in constant contact with them”.
The 29-year-old forward scored 20 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions for Milan in his first season at the club following a £22.8m move from Sevilla last season.
His aim is to one day play in the Champions League, something he failed to do with Sevilla and Milan, but Bacca still harbours aspirations of doing so before he calls time on his playing career.
“I’m working every day to play [in the Champions League], I want to be in it with AC Milan, but unfortunately things went differently last season“.
It was claimed that Milan wanted Bacca’s future to be determined by the end of the week so they can carry on with their own summer transfer business, with his sale funding the majority of their planned moves, but the striker hints at possibly staying at the club and a decision needs to be made.
“I’m talking to Milan about that, too. My permanence will depend from the club’s project, from our new investors, from the players who’ll arrive. Decisions need to be made.”
West Ham have held talks with Bacca’s representatives over a move to the club and the two parties are nearing an agreement over personal terms but are still yet to come to a mutually agreeable conclusion. The Hammers should know by the end of the week whether Carlos Bacca will be joining them.
