Milan among the best in the world - Bacca

The Colombia international has pledged to help the
club return to their place among the elite of
European football after sealing his move from
Sevilla
Carlos Bacca says he cannot wait to start life with
AC Milan , insisting the club remains "one of the
best in the world".
The Colombia international's switch to San Siro
was confirmed on Thursday, with the Rossoneri
thought to have coughed up a sum close to the
28-year-old’s €30 million release clause.
The move brings to an end what Bacca has
revealed was a two-month wait.
"I'm very happy to be moving to an important
club, one of the best in the world," Bacca told Il
Tiempo.
"I started talking to Milan about two months ago,
but the decisive push forward was 10 days go.
[Milan CEO] Adriano Galliani called and convinced
me of their project.
"Recently, things haven't gone so well for them but
they have a great project and lots of motivation. I
cannot wait to wear the Milan shirt and give
everything I have."
The former Club Brugge man, who hit 49 goals in
108 appearances for Sevilla as he helped the
Andalusian side to back-to-back Europa League
titles, says he is now focused on returning 18-time
Italian champions Milan to the top of European
football.
"Now I have a new objective in my career, which is
to take Milan back where they belong. Contributing
to that is great a motivation for me.
"I will arrive in Milan on July 20 because we leave
for a tour of China on July 21. I am going to wear
the number 70 shirt, as it was my first number and
it always brought me luck."
Bacca will be joined at the club by Brazil
international striker Luiz Adriano, who joined from
Shakhtar Donetsk this week.
