Carlos Bacca says that he can fire AC Milan back into the Champions League but added that he would welcome the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to San Siro.
The Colombia international's arrival from Sevilla was confirmed on July 2, with the Rossoneri reportedly having agreed to meet the striker's €30 million buy-out clause.
The 28-year-old touched down in Milan on Sunday, after an extended break following his involvement in the Copa America, and says that he intends to reinvigorate a side that could only finish 10th in Serie A last season.
"I'm very happy and proud to be here," he told reporters at Malpensa Airport. "I'm excited to play with players of the highest level.
"I promise to give my best in every match and in every training session in order to reach our objectives.
"I chose Milan because it's a great club. It's a very ambitious club and one of the best in Italy.
"My objective is to give my best, score many goals and bring Milan back to the top - and also get them back into the Champions League."
Despite strengthening their attack with not only the acquisition of Bacca but also Luiz Adriano from Shakhtar Donetsk, Milan are still considering a move for former forward Ibrahimovic.
While that would mean even greater competition for a starting berth up front, Bacca says that he would welcome the Paris Saint-Germain striker at the Giuseppe Meazza.
"Ibra is a player that has scored many goals," the ex-Club Brugge man added.
"I don't know if he will return to Milan but he would definitely help us out."
