Bacca to snub huge China offers for AC Milan stay, says agent
Chinese clubs have submitted offers for Carlos Bacca, but the striker seems to have his heart set on staying at AC Milan.
Carlos Bacca is prepared to reject substantial offers from the Chinese Super League in order to stay at AC Milan, according to his agent.
The Colombia international scored his first goal since October to give his side a 1-0 victory over Cagliari on Sunday that moved them back to within two points of the top three.
Bacca has been linked with a number of sides in recent weeks, including Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain as well as former club Sevilla and Premier League outfit West Ham.
His representative, Sergio Barila, has also confirmed lucrative offers from China, but says the 30-year-old is keen to remain at San Siro.
"Bacca is happy at Milan and the club is satisfied with his performance, there is no reason for him to leave," he told Tuttomercatoweb.
"There are many teams interested in Bacca. Some Chinese clubs have offered big contracts, but my client has only one desire: to play for Milan. Wearing the Rossoneri colours makes him happy."
Bacca has scored seven times in 16 appearances under Vincenzo Montella this season.
