Carlos Bacca joined AC Milan for Champions League push

AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca reveals that he turned down more lucrative deals to join the Italian club in order to push for the Champions League.

Carlos Bacca has revealed that he joined AC Milan because he is "fascinated" by playing in the Champions League.

The Colombian international signed for the Italian side from Sevilla this summer, and Bacca has said that he turned down more lucrative deals to do so.

The 29-year-old told La Repubblica: "I did not choose this club because of money. I would have earned more in China, Saudi Arabia or England but I was fascinated by the objective of getting back into the Champions League.

"For the past three or four years, Milan have not been where they belong. Now they have strengthened and have a coach with clear ideas."

Bacca could start in his first Milan derby as his club face rivals Inter on Sunday evening.
