Carlos Bacca is expected to sign for Milan in the next 24 hours after the Italian club sent a delegation to Colombia to oversee a medical.

The Serie A club reached an agreement with the Colombian striker’s club, Sevilla, and agreed personal terms with the player last week. Bacca represented his country at the Copa América in Chile but has now gone back to Barranquilla, which is where the medical will take place.

A statement from Sevilla on Wednesday confirmed that they have accepted Milan’s bid: “Sevilla FC have reached an agreement with AC Milan for the transfer of Carlos Bacca, depending on the striker passing his medical tests in the coming days. Sevilla FC wishes him all the luck in his new career.”

Sevilla also confirmed that they have agreed terms to sign French defender Adil Rami from Milan. The former Valencia player still has to undergo a medical but he is expected to sign a four-year deal with the Europa League winners.

Milan, who have missed out on several transfer targets this summer, including the Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia who went to their city rivals Internazionale, will pay the striker’s buyout clause of €30m (£21m).

The 28-year-old has scored 34 goals in 71 league games for Sevilla since joining from Club Brugge in 2013. He had been linked with a move to both Liverpool and Manchester United but is now set for a move to Serie A after two seasons in La Liga.
