Carlos Bacca wants his wages doubled to join West Ham

Carlos Bacca is interested in joining West Ham from AC Milan this summer – if the Hammers double his wages to £120,000-a-week, according to the Mail.

It’s public knowledge that West Ham have agreed a fee worth £25.6m with Milan to sign Bacca this summer but the Hammers have had trouble persuading the Colombia international to make the move to East London.

The 29-year-old was holding out for a move to a Champions League club which never materialised, and with West Ham’s offer still on the table he opened himself up to the idea of joining the Hammers.

Eager to see the club progress in the Europa League, Bacca would be willing to eventually make the move to West Ham, if they double his weekly wage.

Bacca earns £60,000-a-week at the San Siro and is looking for £120,000-a-week to make the move, which would put him on par with Dimitri Payet as West Ham’s highest-earner.

West Ham remain in talks to persuade Bacca to join the club this summer, and following the club-record £20.5m arrival of Andre Ayew from Swansea yesterday hope to break that record once again before the end of the month.
