Carlos Bacca is going through troubled times at Milan. The Colombian striker has not scored since October 2 and according to reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport, his very future at the club may be in doubt. 
 

The 30-year-old Colombian was linked with a move away from the club in the summer and West Ham United had agreed a fee of €30 million with the rossoneri for the player who ultimately turned down the chance to go to England. With the Hammers set to dispense with the man who was the alternative to Bacca, Italian striker Simone Zaza, the East London club may try for a second time in January.   

Competition will be fierce however, with both Valencia and PSG also on the trail of the Colombian. The French champions could be in pole-position as coach Unai Emery was the man who launched Bacca onto the world scene during their time together at Sevilla.
 

Napoli could be about to make an audacious bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 27-year-old Gabon international was omitted from the squad for last night’s Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon after what the club described as an “Internal issue”. Manchester City and Real Madrid are also believed to be in the hunt (Corriere dello Sport).

 

Inter’s next coach will be a straight shoot-out between former Lazio boss Stefano Pioli and ex Villarreal tactician Marcelino. Dutchman Frank de Boer was sacked on Tuesday and youth team coach Stefano Vecchi takes charge for tonight’s game against Southampton in the Europa League. (Gazzetta dello Sport).


 

According to L’Equipe, Marseille are prepared to offer Inter €40 million for French midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia. The journal states that new boss Rudi Garcia wants the 23-year-old in January despite competition from Liverpool.


 

According to Il Tempo, both Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in Roma defender Antonio Rudiger. The 23-year-old German has just returned after a serious knee injury and the Premier League duo have him on their radar.

 

Arsenal and Manchester City are tracking young Juventus star Moise Kean. The 16-year-old striker has yet to commit his future to the bianconeri and the two English giants lead the chase to secure his signature (Tuttosport).
