AC Milan have moved quickly in their pursuit of Colombia striker Carlos Bacca and now have an agreement with Sevilla for the player, according to Sky Italia.

Bacca, who has been linked with a number of clubs including Liverpool, was confirmed to have agreed personal terms with AC Milan by his agent earlier today.




Now the Rossoneri have pressed the accelerator on the deal and thrashed out an agreement with Sevilla, despite the Spanish club publicly being keen to hold on to Bacca.

AC Milan needed to act quickly after losing the race to sign Jackson Martinez from FC Porto.
 

 

The Italian giants had thought they had secured Martinez, only for Atletico Madrid to ultimately beat them to the punch.
