It wasn’t all about money

Don Fuad (Char) and the directors think that I can continue contributing to the team and that’s how everything happened.

I hope I can achieve that goal. It’s far away, but I feel it’s close and when I start to smell that it’s close, it’s more beautiful for me. I’ll work with enthusiasm, desire to give the best to the club on and off the field and as a striker, what you speak with is goals,” said Carlos Bacca.
