Atletico Madrid to rival West Ham in Carlos Bacca chase
ATLETICO MADRID have reportedly joined the race to sign AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca.
Atletico and West Ham reportedly want to sign Carlos Bacca
West Ham are said to be keen on landing Bacca, 29, this summer.

Carlos Bacca - 5 things you need to know
Bacca himself scored 18 goals during the league campaign - the only Milan player to get into double figures.
It is claimed the Colombia international could be bought for just £24.8m (€30m), which falls within both Atletico's and West Ham's budgets for the summer.
He is supposedly a cheap option for Atletico after being priced out of the market for Gonzalo Higuain, Mauro Icardi and Diego Costa.
