Bacca gets a ‘make your mind up’ deadline

|

BaccaCarlos Bacca has reportedly been told he has until the weekend to decide wether he wants a move to the Irons.

But according to The Daily Express, it’s AC Milan who are calling the shots on the deal rather than us as the Italians look to raise crucial transfer funds.

The Serie A club want to bolster their defence and a £26m sale of Bacca can help Milan in the transfer market.

Bacca has been keen for top European football but no Champions League side has made a move for the Colombian and Milan have now apparantly told him to come to a decision by Sunday.

The Hammers are stll keen to get the front man and  a source said: “We are not in the business of handing out deadlines to player but if AC have doen so that could help things along couldn’t it?”

    Ffs have another read ! Where did I say personally he is going to barca ,
    Its a fact that barca have a meeting planned with calleri’s agent !! He has said in principle hewill sign with us , not in black and white . Barca are a huge club who do not like being out maneuvered by a club like us , and as not obvious to some Spain is in Europe the last time I looked ? To say calleri’s head could not be turned is naieve !
    I think calleri will come , he will get game time , but until he signs don’t rule out a gazump !
    The point above was IF .
    I must have missed the press conference Bilic actually named calleri , what site and what time , has he signed already ! Let me know I need to read it . Lol.

    Calleri “My move to West Ham is complete. I always wanted to play in Europe.”
    Does that sound like a man off to Barcelona.

  • JB says:

    Bilic said earler we are close to announcing his signing in his press conference ffs.Would he say that if Calleri was on his way to Spain!!

  • Eddie says:

    Calleri has already said he will join us.The Barcelona rumour was doing the rounds about 3 weeks ago.Why believe every rumour some nobby (as you call them lol) writes.

  • johnboy says:

    What about the rumour that Barcelona are talking to calleri in Brazil as we speak !!!
    And sakho is about to be sold !! Bacca is a long shot ? That will leave us with a sick note waiting to happen and Valencia who couldn’t hit the back of a barn door at present ? If ever if I’m honest !!!
    Calleri is not on board yet , not signed ! Lol to let sakho go is crazy before someone comes in proper , and not a maybe ?
    Cheers barca !!
