Irons: Bacca deal is not dead
Stories have been doing the rounds all aftenoon on social media that the 29 year old Colombian has turned his back on a move to east London but the Hammers remain calm in the face of that speculation.
The club’s own ‘Insider’ appeared to suggest the deal is not as close as has been suggested over recent days when he claimed: “The media continue to link the Hammers with a move for AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca. Most of the stories this week have surrounded the future of Bacca who looks set to leave the San Siro and move abroad.
There is no deal with anybody just yet and negotiations will continue with our top targets.
Bacca has made his Champions League ambitions public over recent days but our top source explained that the deal was not deade.
He told ClaretandHugh: “I would say it is still 20 per cent alive. He has other offers to consider but we are certainy not at the end of things at this point. It’s not over, we are still talking and in those circumstances we remain hopeful”
