Carlos Bacca needs more than money to take him away from AC Milan - agent

Carlos Bacca's agent has said money would not be enough to lure his client away from AC Milan, while he revealed how the striker has turned down lucrative offers in the past.

Bacca has been linked with a move back to Sevilla in addition to attracting attention from the Far East.

However, Sergio Barilla said the thought of leaving Milan has never crossed his client's mind.

"We've received offers from many clubs, but he's always preferred Milan," Barilla to Radio CRC. "When a player is scoring, he is happy and he has always been relaxed even when he was not scoring, despite the attractive economic options he had.

"At the moment, he has no intention of going to China and Milan do not want to sell him either. It's only normal that clubs who are looking for a centre-forward take a look at him -- it's hard not to, be it from Italy or abroad."

Bacca recently ended a scoring drought which had endured since October, with his seventh goal of the season earning Milan a 1-0 win over Cagliari on Jan. 8. He followed that up with another goal against Torino earlier this week and, having started each of the Rossoneri's last two Serie A games, is now expected to lead the line against Napoli on Saturday.

"That's a question for [coach Vincenzo] Montella, but top forwards should be playing in the big games," Barilla said. "I hope it will be a great game. It's a game between two great teams with many international players who are playing great football.

"I wouldn't know what result to predict, but since I have a player at Milan and I don't have one at Napoli, I hope the Azzurri don't win. That said, the way [Maurizio] Sarri's men are playing and winning games of late make them one of the best sides in Serie A at the moment."
