# Napoli make move for Bacca after he rejects West Ham

Serie A side Napoli are set to make a €20m bid for AC Milan forward Carlos Bacca, after he rejected West Ham once again.

[Football Italia](https://www.football-italia.net/88214/napoli-%E2%82%AC20m-and-el-kaddouri-bacca) are reporting that Napoli are willing to offer €20m plus Omar El Kaddouri in order to land the forward.

West Ham were hopeful of landing Bacca after agreeing a fee with AC Milan, but the forward has rejected West Ham and is now considering his options.

A move to Napoli now looks to be on the cards, especially with Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain looking set for a move to Juventus. Napoli will be looking to replace the prolific forward and have earmarked Bacca as the man to take hold of the mantle.

This comes as a massive blow to the Hammers, who saw Bacca as their main striker target this summer. West Ham are now turning to [Simone Zaza](https://readwestham.com/2016/07/23/west-ham-turn-to-simone-zaza-after-latest-bacca-snub/) or [Mario Gomez](https://readwestham.com/2016/07/22/west-ham-will-target-mario-gomez-bacca-doesnt-leave/) to lead the line next season.
