In-demand striker Carlos Bacca would be happy to keep on scoring goals for AC Milan - as long as the club does everything it can to qualify for the Champions League next season.

A mooted target for West Ham, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid, Bacca has no shortage of suitors this offseason. He's coming off an 18-goal Serie A campaign with Milan, but his efforts weren't enough for the Rossoneri to clinch a spot in Europe.

West Ham proved to be the most interested party, with Milan reportedly accepting a €30.9-million bid from the Hammers. But La Gazzetta dello Sport suggested Friday that Bacca had turned down the offer from West Ham, which can only offer Europa League football.

"I'm a player with great ambitions and clear objectives. I want to win, I want to play in the Champions League and lift the cup. Milan is not in Europe this year but we can qualify for the next, and if that is the club's goal I would happily stay put," Bacca told reporters.

"I don't ask for anything more than to win and be important in the league in which I play - in this case Italy. If Milan is in agreement with my objectives and shares my mentality, then I'll stay.

Bacca doesn't deny that he's a hot commodity on the market, but he clearly has respect for his current arrangement with Milan. The 29-year-old only joined the Italian giant last summer from Sevilla, and he still has three years remaining on his contract.

"I know there's a lot of interest from several clubs, there's no point denying it, but I have a contract with Milan and I'm speaking with them to reach a positive solution for me and my family as soon as possible," he said. "All possibilities are open. My first choice is Milan, but we'll see what happens."

Bacca also confirmed that he received offers from China, but he's not considering a move to the Far East.
