West Ham expect decision this week as Milan striker Bacca eyes Sevilla

Carlos Bacca will reportedly make a call on his future before the weekend.

Reports in England suggest that the AC Milan striker will decide on a big-money move to West Ham United on Friday.

Jack Sullivan, the son of West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan, posted on Twitter on Wednesday night that a decision would be made within 48 hours, but did not reveal any transfer figures.

The Hammers have reportedly offered the Rossoneri a club-record fee of £27million for the Colombian international who is set to pick up a salary of around £70,000 per week.

Bacca only joined Milan from Sevilla last summer and despite scoring 20 goals in 43 appearances, is prepared to leave the San Siro for the right offer.

To add some confusion to the situation, Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Bacca is keen on a return to Sevilla and is hoping the Spanish club offloads Kevin Gameiro to Atletico Madrid in a bid to facilitate his Andalusian comeback.
