AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca rejects massive West Ham contract offer

AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca has rejected a massive offer from West Ham.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Bacca has said 'no' to a salary of almost 4M€ net a season at the Hammers. AC Milan are shocked by the rejection.

Bacca's mind is made up. He's waiting to get the call from Diego Simeone to join Atletico Madrid for the 2016/17 season. The Colombian striker has rejected an offer from West Ham of over 27 million euro, an offer that came with a salary of almost 4 million euro a season.

After days of negotiations between the London club and AC Milan, it seemed a deal was in the offing, but Bacca has pulled out, sending what appears to be a clear message to Madrid's rojiblancos. Bacca wants to join the ranks of Cholo Simeone and play with last season's Champions League finalists.
