Paris Saint-Germain eye AC Milan striker: Chances of Fabregas swap with Chelsea fading
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are reportedly weighing up a bid for Carlos Bacca, who has been linked with both Chelsea and West Ham.
Carlos Bacca has been linked with Chelsea and West Ham recently
Chelsea are supposedly interested in a January move for Bacca, with Italian media suggesting the Blues could swap Cesc Fabregas for the player.
And West Ham missed out on the forward last month as manager Slaven Bilic sought to sign a goalscorer.
It seems Milan were open to selling Bacca but were happy to retain him as no club matched their valuation.
But Italian newspaper Tuttosport claim PSG may be about to strike a deal with the San Siro giants.
According to the report, PSG were unable to bid for Bacca this summer because they didn’t have space in their squad for another non-EU player.
It is claimed Spanish manager Unai Emery is a fan of the player and is already seeking to bolster his front line after failing to adequately replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic over the summer.

Milan are likely to prefer a sale rather than a swap deal for Bacca, whose transfer fee could start to decline now he has reached 30.
As for Fabregas, his future at Chelsea remains unclear even if a proposed move to Milan is off the table.
The Spain international impressed during the 4-2 EFL Cup win over Leicester on Tuesday night but may not start at Arsenal in tomorrow’s 5.30pm kick off.
