Carlos Bacca's agent Sergio Barila has claimed that the striker 'wants to return to Sevilla' in the summer, presumably to ensure that he earns himself a place on Colombia's plane to Russia for the World Cup next year.

The attacker has been cast-out of the Rossoneri's pre-season training regime and was subsequently not even involved in training before Milan's Europa League preliminary round ties against Craiova.

Barila - talking to Spanish outlet AS (via Football Italia) - says that the imminent campaign will be an 'important' one for the 30-year-old.

With the 2018 World Cup in Russia looming, he'll need to be playing week in, week out to be involved for his national set-up, a return to La Liga supposedly being his preferred option.
