Bad news for Liverpool fans who were hoping to see Carlos Bacca at Anfield

The Reds miss out on top target

It looks like Liverpool have lost the race to sign Carlos Bacca.

The Colombian striker was said to be one of Brendan Rodgers top transfer targets this summer, but it appears that he is heading to the Serie A.

Both Sky Sports Italia and  Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that AC Milan have come to an agreement with Bacca.

They claim Bacca will sign a four-year contract with the Rossoneri with the transfer fee expected to be around the £30 million which will trigger the release clause written into his contract with Sevilla.

The 28-year-old forward had an impressive season in La Liga last season scoring 20 goals in 37 appearances. However, his Copa America campaign came to an end after being sent off against Brazil for forcefully shoving Neymar after the final whistle had sounded.
