Sevilla striker Bacca confirms he will join Serie A giants AC Milan

Published Jun. 29, 2015 5:07 a.m. ET

Sevilla forward Carlos Bacca has revealed he has reached personal terms with AC Milan over a proposed move this summer.

The Colombia international, who has scored 34 goals in 71 appearances since joining Sevilla two years ago from Club Brugge, is also a reported target of Manchester United and Roma.

Milan and Roma declared last week their interest in acquiring the 28-year-old, who is under contract with Sevilla for another three seasons.

"It's true what my agent said, we have reached an agreement with Milan," Bacca said to Spanish sports newspaper AS. "They are the club that have 100 per cent possibility of signing me but it's not official yet."

Milan have yet to reach an agreement with Sevilla, who are keen to keep Bacca and have insisted that the player will only leave the club this summer if his 35million euro buy-out clause is met.

"I can only speak on behalf of the player and hence, I cannot say anything regarding an agreement between the clubs," Bacca's agent Sergio Barila said. "But between Carlos and Milan everything is done."

Bacca was prolific in the Primera Division last season, scoring 20 goals in 37 appearances to help Sevilla finish fifth.

The South American also scored seven goals in the Europa League, including two in last month's final that saw Sevilla beat Dnipro 3-2 to win the competition for a record fourth time.

Unlike Milan, who will not feature Europe next season after a 10th-place finish in Serie A, Sevilla will play in the Champions League next term.

Bacca is currently on holiday back home after competing with his national team at the Copa America in Chile.
