Colombia Galliani claims 'Carletto' is fan of Colombian

Carlos Bacca continued his superb run with a goal in AC Milan's 2-1 victory at home to Genoa on Sunday.

In the wake of this win, 'Rossoneri' CEO Adriano Galliani commented on how happy he is to have the Colombian striker at the San Siro and remarked that things could have been oh-so different had former AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti not been sacked as Real Madrid coach.

"Bacca is a fantastic player. Ancelotti even spoke to me about him. If Ancelotti had stayed at Real Madrid, Bacca probably would have moved there", Galliani told the Milan website, adding that, "He's now netted 15 goals this season". The Colombian's recent exploits have coincided with an upturn in results for Sinisa Mihajlovic's team, which the executive hailed: "We've collected 14 points to kick off the second half of the season, compared to nine at the start of the campaign. I would say that is pretty good".
