Old Trafford has emerged as the likely destination of Sevilla striker Carlos Bacca in the summer with Manchester United already in negotiations with Sevilla over a move.

The report in the Metro which cites Fichajes.net claims that Louis van Gaal are keen on the Colombian and will soon begin negotiations.

The report claims that both AC Milan and Roma are also interested in the 28-year-old who joined Sevilla in 2013 where he has made 106 appearances in all competitions and scored 49 goals including 7 in Europe and a brace in the 2015 Europa League final which Sevilla won 3-2 to retain the title.

Bacca signed a contract extension in 2014 so could stay at Sevilla until 2018 and is understood to have a 30 million euro buy-out clause.

The striker is a Colombian international, joining the senior setup in 2010 and has gone on to earn 29 caps and scored 7 times for his nation. Bacca only made one appearance in the 2014 World Cup, coming as a substitute in the 2-1 defeat by Brazil in the quarter-finals.
