The Rossoneri payed €30 million for the player who will earn €3.5 million per year. The Colombian striker will wear number 70 because it was the number he used in the Colombian league.
Carlos Bacca started his professional career In Junior F.C (The most prestigious club of the north of Colombia) in 2006. At first, he did not have much playing time making he’s loan to the second division of Colombia (Barranquilla F.C) and then Venezuela (Minervén) a reality. Bacca scored 24 goals and gained fame as a feared striker.
He accomplished to win the league in Colombia with 73 goals on 130 apps. However, what majority of people do not know is that he worked as a bus driver and as an angler to sustain his family due to economic problems.
Thanks to his excellent performances, in 2012, he signed with the Belgian club Brugge where he made 45 appearances and scored 28 goals becoming the top striker of the Belgian league. After a majestic form in the season 2012-2013, he won the player of the year in Belgium.
Whilst Bacca increased his goals, several teams of Europe got interested in his talent but Sevilla were the ones to catch him in their nets. He signed for €7 million. The Colombian striker reached a word class level with the Spanish club scoring 34 goals in 71 appearances. Likewise, he was a fundamental part in the gaining of the two titles of UEFA Europa League (2013-2014 and 2014-2015) that Sevilla managed to win. The 28 year-old striker was voted as the best signing of 2013-2014 by Spanish journal MARCA as well as the season's best player, ahead of Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria and FC Barcelona's Neymar.
Meanwhile, in his national team he has not been lucky. Carlos Bacca was included in Colombia’s national team squad for World cup 2014; nevertheless, he only played a game because of injuries. Correspondingly, in the recent Copa América, he was sanctioned with two matches for an incident between him and Neymar jr. The player has scored 7 goals in 20 appearances.
WhoScored qualifies him as centre forward with 7.11 rating; His strengths is finishing, while his passing and offside awareness are his weaknesses. His style of playing tells that Bacca is an indirect set piece threat and does not dive against rival’s tackles.
Milan is anxious to see him with the Rossoneri shirt. Let us wait and see if he reaches his full potential in Italy, and as he has stated is his wish, to take the team
