Bolton left guessing in their Rivaldo bid

Rivaldo will fly back to Brazil for talks with his agent before deciding whether to sign for Bolton.

The Brazilian World Cup winner will speak with his Brazil-based representative, Carlos Arini, before revealing his intentions.

Arini said: 'If he hasn't said no yet, that's because he's seriously considering the offer.'

Rivaldo has been in England with his Europe-based agent, Manuel Auset, talking to Bolton about a possible move.

And Sam Allardyce could follow up his Rivaldo bid by swooping for Bayern Munich's outofcontract left back Bixente Lizarazu.
