Arsenal, Sevilla and Napoli join race for Bacca as Colombian puts West Ham talks on hold
West Ham’s € 30 million offer has been accepted by AC Milan, though the player has put negotiations with the Hammers on hold, waiting for a bigger club to call him. Atletico Madrid are rumoured to be interested in the former Sevilla man even if the Colchoneros’ priority signing remains Chelsea’s Diego Costa.
Napoli and Arsenal have also been approaching Bacca through intermediaries and the two clubs could make a formal bid to AC Milan in the next few hours.
Napoli are considering Bacca as a potential replacement of departing Gonzalo Higuain, whilst the Gunners are also looking for a striker after Jamie Vardy’s snub and Higuain is also thought to be on Wenger’s shopping list.
Sevilla are also open to welcome the player back at the club with AC Milan keen to sell the striker as soon as possible as they need fresh cash to finalize the arrival of Musacchio from Villareal.
