# West Ham set Wednesday deadline for Carlos Bacca deal

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.

[Earlier reports had suggested that Bacca wanted West Ham to double his wages if he was to make the move to London](https://readwestham.com/2016/08/09/carlos-bacca-wants-wages-doubled-join-west-ham/). 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.
