Carlos Bacca has rejected a move to West Ham, according to Italian publication Corriere della Sera.
The Colombian international has reportedly declined the chance to speak with the East London club, meaning that the Hammers will now have to look elsewhere for their marquee signing after weeks of negotiations.
AC Milan had been looking to cash in on their star striker as the Italian club needed the money, but the San Siro side have recently been in talks with big money investors from the Far East and it looks as though Bacca will not be playing his football at the Olympic Stadium in the new season.
It was previously reported that Bacca was waiting to see if the Hammers qualified for the group phase of the Europa League, but it would appear that he is still holding out for the Champions League football he desires. Inter Milan are another team to be linked with the former Sevilla front-man.
Bacca is said to have passed up the chance to board a plane to London, as well as struggling to agree personal terms with what West Ham were offering to him This could be the turning point that finally puts the saga concerning the 29-year-old to an end.
