West Ham’s efforts to sign Carlos Bacca appear to be entering the eleventh hour.
After a fee had been agreed for the Colombian between Milan and the Hammers, the player himself has been stalling the deal because he has been holding out for a Champions League move.
With the transfer up in the air, West Ham want an answer from the striker by tomorrow at the very latest.
Earlier reports had suggested that Bacca wanted West Ham to double his wages if he was to make the move to London. This would have seen the 29-year-old making £120,000 a week, the same as what Dimitri Payet earns at the club.
However, the most recent figure stated is €5 million net per year, which is still a considerable increase from his Milan wages.
After a transfer window blighted by disappointments, Hammers fans will be hoping the negotiation team can find a way to bring the forward to the Olympic Stadium.
